Rabbi Dov Gartenberg and I met through Synagogue 3000, he and I will be team teaching a Hillel Foundation class in May at University of Washington and Panim Hadashot sponsored by JConnect. We titled our class:
Seeking Common Ground: A Conversation with a Rabbi and a Pastor On Religious Identity and Belief in a Pluralistic World
Its a rare opportunity for young Christians and Jews to engage in conversation about religious identity and faith in a world of diverse choices and religious contentiousness.
Our themes will be:
- Does my religious identity or lack thereof help or deter my relationship with others in a diverse society?
- Beyond God on my side: Does a sense of religious choseness make sense in our times? (Post-evangelical, post-insular Judaism)
- What is religious conversion in pluralistic world?
- What does it mean to affirm your faith tradition in a world of multiple ‘truths’’?
- Can secular and religious people find common ground?
