Sacred Text as Window: Seeing one’s self through the eyes of another
Conference classes:
Monday-Wednesday, January 28-30, 2008
Conference presentations:
Wednesday-Friday, January 30-February 1, 2008
Religiously-fueled conflicts around the world are intensifying. We must push beyond "tolerance" to deeper, more enduring inter-religious understanding and cooperation. This conference takes inter-religious dialogue to a new level of engagement, by meeting one another through our sacred texts. By hearing others read and interpret one's own sacred texts, Jews, Christians, and Muslims will arrive at deeper understanding not only of each other but of themselves. Through classes, workshops, and plenary lectures with Muslim, Christian, and Jewish leaders, participants will deepen their own faith commitments, build mutual understanding, and learn how to increase co-operative action for the common good.
Co-sponsored by the Center for Anglican Learning & Leadership, the Center for Jewish Studies and the Center for Islamic Studies at the Graduate Theological Union, and the Episcopal Church’s Office of Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations.
