Bridges and Boundaries: Religious Diversities in the 21st Century

Alway/Emmanuel Symposium – Bridges and Boundaries: Religious Diversities in the 21st Century Classroom

Where:  St. Michael's College and Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto

About this Event: Interreligious teaching and learning is happening both in classrooms (including in professional schools with a secular mission and in theological schools founded in a sectarian tradition), as well as outside of classroom contexts in social movements and activism circles. This conference investigates important questions that are related to interreligious teaching and learning both in and outside of classrooms. For example, what wise practices for bridging different identities and contexts have emerged in interreligious contexts? What boundaries remain important to observe and what boundaries can be redefined? How do we practice interreligious teaching and learning in ways that promote social justice?

Free to attend, but registration is required.
