Interfaith Dialogue Luncheon: Religion and Violence

Interfaith Dialogue Luncheon

Religion and Violence:
Transcending the Warlike Past

How can religion help make peace when religion has so often waged Holy Wars? The three great Abrahamic faiths, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, were born in a time when religion and tribe were often one and the same, and religion could easily be co-opted into inter-tribal conflicts.  How can religion be part of making our new international, interreligious world different? Come hear Muslim, Jewish and Christian leaders discuss the seeds of peace in each faith, and how they are growing in power in our world.

Rev. Charles Rush, Rabbi Avi Friedman, and Dr. Mesut Sahin

Wednesday, February 29, 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m
