Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 The work of Vivekananda Centre in the fields of Religious Education and Interfaith continues to flourish Work with Schools: In the last couple of weeks we have participated in some assemblies as well as many class-room sessions on Hinduism.The schools visited were: • St Philip Howard School in Hatfield Hertfordshire • Herbert Morrison School in Vauxhall London St Teresa Catholic School in Princes Risborough Buckinghamshire • Kingsmead School in Enfield London Interfaith Work: Last week we participated at an interfaith dialogue with the Abbot of Worth Monastery. The dialogue took place in front of about 75 delegates from the local interfaith groups. The abbot offered four models for interfaith dialogue and the last one he promoted used the term: 'ACCEPTANCE OF OTHER FAITHS'. This fitted very well with the Hindu contribution on the necessity to invoke Religious Pluralism to reconcile truth claims of different religions as well as non-religious world-views. The session generated a very visible thrill from all the delegates present. In the coming months further two sessions on interfaith are planned in Sussex.Vivekananda Centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
