Religious Exclusivism and Interreligious Dialogue: Incompatible or Not? (10/12)
|
|
Does openness to other religions and interreligious harmony require compromising one's own strong faith convictions? This is one of the pressing questions for the future of interreligious dialogue. This lecture is based on years of involvement in dialogue and peace work in the Balkans, and on Volf's important role in responding to the Muslim dialogue initiative, "A Common Word Between Us and You," of which we celebrate the tenth anniversary.

This conference draws on Boston University's rich resources in public health, theology, and religious studies as a starting point for a broader conversation about how individuals from a wide range of religious traditions engage healthcare institutions and providers and interpret public health issues across cultures and time.
