Racism, Xenophobia, violence, ethnic and religious hate in our modern world have fractured individuals and communities. Our 8th conference of May 2025 would investigate, expand on the concepts and issues of “race” in religious traditions. Our conferences always invite reflection on religions’ sacred texts — this time with an emphasis on “race” and the construction of meaningful alternatives to the current polarized challenges of our violent world. Registration includes all meals during the conference.
