Brief Introduction:-
This half-day workshop will explore how dialogue can be extended amongst religious traditions in Singapore, and develop from the internal teachings of each tradition. Topics that will be discussed include: defining dialogue and how it can be practiced; whether members of each can engage in dialogue; how to practice inter-religious dialogue; the types of inter-religious dialogue; results we may expect from dialogue in Singapore. Incorporating both theoretical and practical aspects, this workshop seeks to extend participants’ understanding of dialogue in association with other religions.
