4 Credit(s)

This course, an experiential exploration of interfaith dialogue between Christians and Muslims, studies the foundational beliefs and practices of each tradition with a special focus on the variety of cultural and intercultural contexts in which adherents practice their faith today. Students study, witness and experience different models of interfaith dialogue as partners consider some of the ethical, theological, economic, political and practical issues dividing and uniting the world-wide Muslim and Christian communities. The seminar includes participation in several community-based dialogues, observation of Christian and Muslim celebrations, student presentations and the writing of a Personal Mission Statement.
