DISCOVERING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY: Contemporary Beliefs and Practices

This term we will look at selected topics and how each religion approaches that particular topic. It is hoped that the participants will be able to see the similarities between the major religious traditions rather than the differences promulgated by the media (the main method through which we perceive religious others).
The topics for this term include: Foundations & Founder Figures; Sacred Texts; Image & Iconography; Prayer & Worship; Sacred Time; Sacred Spaces; Sacred Music; Sacred Clothing.
Please note: the course is conducted in an entirely objective non-judgmental environment, presenting all faith traditions in equal light.

The classes will be held at St. George’s Anglican Church, 1 Church Street, Gate Pa, on Friday nights from 6-8pm, beginning on 3rd August.
The course cost is Waged: $80 per term; Unwaged/Students/Seniors: $65 per term
