CHIPMAN -- Lifetree Café will host a free hour of civil conversation exploring issues relating to same-sex marriage on Monday, Oct. 29 at 7 p.m.

The program, titled “Same Sex Marriage: When Rights, Morals, and Love Collide” provides an opportunity to discuss how same-sex marriages are impacting society and how people are responding to the growing presence of same-sex marriages.

“This topic often prompts confrontation, not conversation,” says Lifetree representative Craig Cable. “We’ll host an opportunity to dialogue on this sensitive topic.”

Snacks and beverages are available. Lifetree Café is located at the Scotch Presbyterian Church.

Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual coffeehouse-type setting. Questions may be directed to Noel Allen at 323-1430 or nyallen@twcny.rr.com.
