Course Overview

In this course, we will explore various contemporary approaches to interreligious dialogue and engagement, with a special emphasis on selected examples of such dialogue in Canada and the Greater Toronto Area.  Including the four Modes of Dialogue as defined by the Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue (PCID ) and Dr. Leonard Swidler’s Decalogue of Dialogue. Students will have an opportunity to reflect on the potential of interreligious dialogue to foster mutual respect, practices of humility and hospitality, and collaboration on social issues.
