Interfaith Dialogue

Today was an interesting day. I went to the Feeley International Center for an Interfaith Dialogue that featured ELI students and teachers, as well as students from the Women's College. While I enjoyed it in general (especially the speakers on Taoism and Baha'i), it didn't seem as diverse as it advertised. They had multiple speakers on two of the same religion and only one for the others. The one for Taoism was introduced as a Buddhist, so Buddhism wasn't really discussed much. It also would have been nice if they had Hinduism, Sikhism and other religions, since there wasn't really much balance and there are many Sikhs in America.

For those who want to know more about different religions, take RST 331, Comparative Ethics. I'm taking the class this semester and while it focuses mainly on the major religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, the main textbook has a section on Sikhism. The class is extremely interesting and covers a variety of topics in each religion and compares each in two religions at a time.
