EVENT HIGHLIGHTS
Niagara Foundation organizes Dinner of Abrahamic Traditions every year for the purpose of strengthening friendship and understanding among three Abrahamic Traditions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
We proudly host a diverse group of guests, including clergy from churches, synagogues, and mosques, academicians from universities and seminaries, and leaders of many charitable and civic organizations.
Theme:
Conflicts, Violence and Religion
Some of the questions that the speakers will try to address:
– What does our religious tradition and scriptures teach about violence?
– Whether & how is violence ever justified?
– Do people abuse religion to justify their violent tactics?
– Is religion the source or victim of extremism?
– How do the Abrahamic Religions approach conflict resolution?
