Understanding World Religions-CANCELED
Free
CANCELED FOR THE 24/25 academic year.
To say that we live in a world that is changing at tremendous speed would be an understatement. We think of the rapid development of technology (internet of things) and changes in the economy (knowledge and gig workers). However, one area that might be more subtle is the change in the religious landscape. Mosques, synagogues, and temples are no longer strange to see in many urban and suburban areas. You may have Hindu neighbors who move in next door, and your parents might work with Muslim or Buddhist colleagues. There are people from many religions that we will have as neighbors, co-workers, and friends. As Christians, it is important not just to know and understand what we believe and why. We need to be willing to learn enough about others’ beliefs that we can understand, have thoughtful and informed conversations, and, when given an opportunity, know how to share our faith in Christ respectfully. (An honors option is available).
