From Fears to Friendships
Exploring Religions of the World

Fear leads to violence. Friendship leads to peace. You are warmly invited to the 2005 Colloquy to encounter people of other faiths first hand and explore different understandings of divine mystery and ways of life. Come and learn of practical ways to build bridges of appreciation and trust. In your encounter with others discover your own faith in a deeper way. As Mark Heim wrote: “Those who know only their own religion, know none… Those who are not decisively committed to one faith, know no others.” The struggle is not yet over. This Colloquy will help disciples and seekers learn to make a difference in healing of the spirit, reconciliation, and pursuing peace and justice for all.
