Talk: Religion Matters
Start Date: 2/8/2008Start Time: 4:30 PM
End Date: 2/8/2008End Time: 5:30 PM
Event Description
The talk has two main points, one for everyone and one primarily for people of faith. Religion matters because religion matters to so many people. Certainly today, our most serious cultural barriers and our greatest possibilities for points of contact are not literary or artistic but religious. As Hans Kung has so often said, there will be no peace in the world until there is peace among religions. For people of faith, it is important to remember, despite all the ugly things that have been done in the name of all faiths, so much of our social and moral progress is unthinkable without the influence of religious traditions and teachers and models. And religion matters to us not just as citizens of the world and as members of faith traditions but also in deeply personal and interior ways.
