Sikh Temple Tragedy Forms Unlikely Alliance With a Unifying Message
A former skinhead and the son of the slain Sikh Temple president are preaching peace and compassion at a local church Sunday afternoon.
Following the tragic shooting last year at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, Arno Michaelis – a former skinhead leader – and Pardeep Koleka – son of the slain President and founder of the Temple – found each other and now are taking their message of dealing with hate and loss to the community.
They will be telling their compelling stories and talking about their approach to these issues in a presentation entitled the "Power of Practice and Compassion."
The presentation is coming to Shorewood on Sunday, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., at North Shore Presbyterian Church, 4048 N. Bartlett Ave. The event is free and open to the public. This will be the first North Shore presentation of their program.
Learn more about Koleka, Michaelis and their organization, Serve 2 Unite, at the organization's website.
