We
Invite You To:
a public forum promoting
Inter-religious and Intra-religious dialogue to explore the challenges of
Extremism, Intolerance, Scapegoating, and Islamophobia, and the promise of
Reason, Understanding, Compassion, and Cultural Harmony.
Join over 45 Presenters
and Facilitators as we explore:
1) The
mutual dilemmas of religious ignorance, extremism, intolerance, negative stereotypes,
prejudice, demonization and dehumanization, scapegoating, and fear of "the
other," that can lead to toxic divisiveness, polarization, and social
paranoia, including the current example of Islamophobia and the Muslim community,
and
2) The
promise of personal engagement through dialogue in nurturing a shared consciousness
of peace - and in doing so promoting the religious experience as a healing
remedy rather than problem.
Format:
An outstanding, diverse gathering
of presenters for 3 Days of keynotes, workshops, topical panels, live Skyped
sessions with presenters from other countries, dialogue groups, exhibits,
social/cultural events, multicultural community, and rich networking.

"It
does not require that we be the same to be appreciative of, at peace with,
and secure in our relationships with each other;
only that we be familiar enough with each other's story to share the humanity
of trustworthiness that resides in each of us."
