PROGRAM CLUSTER
Interreligious Education
Interreligious education is a discipline that can hardly emerge fast enough to meet the growing demand. In our ever-changing global society, many parts of the world that were once relatively homogenous are grappling with the rewards and challenges of burgeoning diversity. As some religious and spiritual communities feel threatened by these changing demographics, the possibility for misunderstandings and conflicts increases, which means that the need for establishing trust and understanding among people of different religious and spiritual traditions has never been greater. The Parliament is proud to contribute to this cause with the Interreligious Education Program Cluster. Many of these sessions focus on the education of children and young people - but learning does not end in adulthood. Religious leaders and laypcoplc of all ages can learn from the expert presenters showcased in this cluster. Come learn what you can do to further the cause of interreligious education in your own community.
