Revisiting the Scandal of Particularity in the context of inter-religious dialogue.
A Day Conference arranged by the Inter Faith Theological Advisory Group.
What is distinctive and particular about Christianity? How can we be faithful to that uniqueness whilst being genuinely open to others in a world of many faiths and belief systems?
In this day conference we will be exploring these and other questions through the doctrine of the resurrection of Jesus Christ: each of the resurrection encounters in the Gospels offers disruption and destabilization of human life – its routines, expectations, disappointments and its grief. Thus, the doctrine of the resurrection is a useful means of engaging with the disruptive tendency that is at the very heart of interreligious dialogue: for to engage in dialogue is to engage in a disruptive paradox – to engage with the world as it is and yet seeking to disrupt it by seeking reconciliation and the end of hatred and violence.
