<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Title:</u><br>
“Leaving Loneliness, Building Friendship, and Fostering Human Flourishing”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>Abstract:</u><br>
Come learn how pursuing a meaningful vision of human flourishing and building good friendships combats loneliness. The talk will focus on friendship – what it is, its benefits, impediments to it that take the form of vices, and virtues that aid the building
of friendship and the building of bridges in a community.<o:p></o:p></p>
