Religion & Violence: Untangling the Roots of Conflict An Interfaith Dialogue Our distinguished keynote speakers and preacher are skilled theologians who are also prominent public intellectuals -- Christian, Jewish, and Muslim.
While people of faith raise prayers for peace, stories of religiously fueled
violence fill the news. Critics question whether the world can afford
to
tolerate a force as destructive as religion. Is violence
an inescapable result
of religious commitment, or is it a
distortion, a human projection on a God in
whom
there is no violence? Is it the sole province of extremists, or do the
roots of conflict touch all persons of faith?
Do solutions to these seemingly intractable problems lie within the traditions themselves? Through keynote presentations and small group theological reflection, this interfaith gathering will provide opportunities to deepen understanding, build community, and explore how religion can be a powerful force for peace within ourselves, our families, our communities, and the world. The conference will begin on the day we honor Martin Luther King, Jr., to ask how we can take up his legacy of faithful nonviolence in our time.
The speakers will:
- Explore how all three traditions become entangled with violence
- Illuminate the resources within the traditions for living together in peace, without losing our unique identities
Speakers: James Carroll, James H. Cone, Tariq Ramadan, Susannah Heschel and Katherine Jefferts Schori, preacher.
Cost: $20. for one day; $30. for both days. Includes snacks and lunch.
Where: Deerfield Retirement Community, 1617 Hendersonville Rd., Asheville
Time: 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM each day
