Mary Templeman Hogg - O'Rourke
has completed the following course:
Religions From The Inside: Improving Interreligious Dialogue
Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI) and The Faculty of Theology of Lugano (FTL)
Students experience that dialogue among religions is possible by focusing on the fundamental tenets of each religion. Religion cannot be identified with fundamentalism. Fundamentalism in fact is a wrong, narrow and one-sided interpretation of religious life and doctrine. By experiencing a dialogical approach, students will improve their knowledge of world religions and become aware of the fact that each world religion is able to contribute to human coexistence.
