The Interfaith News Roundup - April 2023
This month's Roundup features inspiring stories of interfaith making positive strides in the world, troubling examples that remind us there is still much work to be done to create a welcoming and inclusive world, and updates on what some key figures in the interfaith movement have been up to.
CEIE is creating something new - a public educational offering where faculty in their field create the lectures and SU students and alumni present these for a larger society yearning to learn.
Religious literacy enables us to exhibit empathy for each other and to cultivate healthy relationships today. Wherever we meet–schools, workplaces, and communities–we experience people with unique religious and cultural identities. CEIE, in cooperation with the Parliament of the World's Religions, is creating a non-credit-bearing course on Religious Literacy that invites a broad audience to learn in a spirit of curiosity, wonder, and awe. Paths open to new connections and possibilities this May, 2023.
