Judgment, imperialism, and competition: aren’t religious people supposed to LOVE their neighbors?

Come join in a fairly wide-ranging conversation about interfaith relationships — why they’re difficult and why they’re tremendously important to religious health. We’ll talk about religion and politics (going all the way back to Emperor Constantine), our own faith stories, and what religion is in the first place. Do we really have to choose between loving God and loving our neighbors (of other faiths)? I sure don’t think so! (Rev. Dr.) Dave Holmes is a minister in the United Church of Canada, and active in the Inter-faith Council here in Calgary. He has a doctoral degree in Gospel and Culture from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta, and counts various Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and atheists among his key teachers. *This event is part of Pluralism & Religious Diversity Week, March 23 – 28.
