Thursday, March 23rd at 7pm
Science Auditorium
CULTURAL EVENTS CREDIT!
In a pluralistic age, we no longer have the privilege of thinking that our one way is the only right way. We must learn to cooperate across religious and denominational lines. Listening and discovering across lines opens up the self and the other in surprising and invigorating ways. In this talk we will discuss the possibility, challenge and promises of mystical discovery in the interfaith process.
