Lower Falls Community Center

Each meeting we choose a different topic or theme to discuss.&nbsp; Our hope is that in this time of challenge, we create spaces where people of all ages, backgrounds and beliefs can pause, reflect and listen to others with openness and goodwill. We believe that conversations - when carried out with goodwill, fairmindedness, a desire to learn and, most importantly, with love - can help build community, catalyze action and facilitate progress. Our topic this month:&nbsp; What is the role of love in our democracy today?
