About the Event
Responding to Crisis: Reparative Reasoning in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
How do Abrahamic traditions respond to societal and religious crises? Conference sessions will examine such issues as climate change, sexual abuse, and dangerous technologies. Participants will raise such questions as: What religious groups lead efforts to address such crises? What assumptions and beliefs guide them? What skills and methods do they bring to this work? And what processes of investigation, reasoning, reflection, and testing can assess this work?
