Let’s talk Faith to Faith

Volume 2 | Inter Religious Dialogue

March 2021 - June 2021 | 5 Sessions

In this series, while the core objectives remain the same as in the first webinar 'Let´s talk faith to faith', this set of sessions will dive in deep into each religion and explore some of the challenges they face today. Modern cultures tend to influence faith and faith, in turn, has its influence on culture. Through this webinar we want to discuss how modern culture challenges faith across religions.

  • Session 1 : Exclusion and Embrace - surviving in a politically Christian society

    A harmful mélange of Christianity and politics is not new to history. As modern societies open doors to people and cultures, many Christian groups are acting against marginalized groups. This is true for many societies. Reasons based on tradition and scripture are quoted to launch these attacks. How does a simple believer survive in a political hotpot of extremism?

  • Session 2 : The Jewish modern statehood challenge. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

    Since its establishment the Jewish state had a central position in regard to Jewish life. Inside the state, the relationship of the state and religion stand in the center of a major socio-political divide. Outside of it, its existence as a worldly political actor raises many tensions with the religious and even messianic/moral expectations many have for the state of Israel. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

  • Session 3 : Equality at the heart of Sikh Ideology‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

    As seekers of the truth, Sikhism believes that all paths lead to one God, that all people being equal can experience freedom through loving and serving others. In today's polarizing societies, Sikhs are posed with a challenge of being able to live this equality and pronounce it to their neighbors. How does the interpretation of the Granth invite one to this imperative?
