Abrahamic Service (#37)

"At Chautauqua, we are not non-denominational. We are all-denominational."

Sunday evening, Chautauqua celebrated it's annual Abrahamic Sacred Song Service. Coordinators from the APYA (Abrahamic Program for Young Adults) read passages and shared stories of their faiths.

Bottom: The four coordinators pour water into a basin around the three candles symbolizing the blending of the religions.
