SAN RAMON VALLEY INTERFAITH PROGRAM

 THE WORLD HAS MET ITSELF
THE DYNAMICS OF INTERFAITH SPIRITUALITY AND PRACTICE
IN A WORLD GONE GLOBAL

SEPTEMBER 22, 1016
How shall we think and reflect in a World gone global?

 We will explore the terms employed in the pursuit of Interfaith Spiritual Practice.  In particular, we will explore the possible meanings of multi-faith, interfaith, and intrafaith as we seek to discover our dynamic and constructive relationships to the peoples of the World.  

SEPTEMBER 29, 2016
The Principles of Interfaith Spiritual Practice

 Can we or should we move beyond the idea and category of “religion” as we reconsider the Faith Traditions of Humankind?  How might we think about the Traditions of Humankind in our pursuit of Interfaith Dialogue and Understanding?       

OCTOBER 13, 2016
Justice and Peace in the World of Interfaith Spiritual Practice

We will explore the transformative power of the Faith Traditions to forge that Justice which creates Peace in the midst of conflict and division.  We will glean the wisdom of several Faith Traditions as we seek to discover the principles by which we might practice peace in all the affairs of our lives.

OCTOBER 20, 2016
Do the Faith Traditions Provide a Basis for Interfaith Love and Respect?

We will challenge the idea that “religion is the cause of violence and misunderstanding” as we search the wisdom of the Traditions.  We will explore several Traditions as we seek to discover what they teach and proclaim about people who are not members of their own communities or belief structures.  We will come to understand the magnificent wisdom the Traditions offer by which others are seen as beloved.
