The Centre Stage: "Good Religion, Bad Religion"

Religion is blamed for great suffering, oppression, wars and hatred
throughout history. Many horrific acts have been undertaken in the
name of religion. Yet, religion at its best has brought out greatness
in humanity at the individual and social levels through expressions
of self sacrifice, love and compassion. Religion has produced
spiritual, intellectual and insightful individuals expressing
themselves through art, literature and science. 'Good' and 'bad'
seems to exist across all religions. Is it the religion or human
nature at play? In this centre stage discussion, we will explore
factors that cause religion to be used as a means for excellence or
destruction.

Chaired by:

Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Officer, St James Ethics Centre

Centre Stage Participants:

Dr Peter Vardy. Philosopher, London University
Mehmet Ozalp, Muslim Theologian, Author, President ISRA Australia

This event may interest some of our members following the discussion
about inter-faith dialogue (and inner-faith dialogue).

I subscribe to the ISRA e-newsletter. They hold a few events a year
and most of them have interesting moderate, academic speakers.

vinum sabbati,
Tim
