“Levels of Dialogue - Religious Experience in an Inter Faith Context” - a talk

Monday 13 November 18.30 – 20.00

Religions have different origins, developmental pathways, belief systems, and spiritualities. Yet there remains the possibility of a family resemblance between them. The tension, or ambiguity, inherent in the dynamic of ‘particularity in relation to universality’ is explored, argued over, and negotiated through interreligious dialogue. This talk ties the reality of religious experience to the demands and outcomes of interreligious dialogue. The speaker is Revd Canon Dr Alan Race who is Chair of the World Congress of Faiths and the editor of its journal ‘Interreligious Insight’. He is a retired Anglican priest-theologian, and the author of books and articles on the themes of theology of religions and interreligious dialogue.
