Description
Karen Torjesen invites the conference panelists to speak about their experiences in the conference discussion groups. Hamid Mavani talks about the academic study of religion by both practitioners and non-practitioners and the insights both bring to the study and also the use of inclusive language. Althea Spencer Miller was struck by the enthusiasm and respect of the participants for all traditions represented. She says one of the questions that came up in her group was how individuals can engage in discussion across traditions and still maintain what they consider important and valuable in their own traditions. Torjesen comments that since there were no participants from the Hindu tradition present at the conference, the discussion of Hinduism was limited. For that reason, Deepak Shimkhada uses the time here to discuss the topic of inclusivity and exclusivity as it relates to Hinduism. Dr. Ali Jaffrey, a Zoroastrian scholar, speaks on the Zoroastrian tradition and its encounter with other religions. Tammi Schneider talks about the significance of the Holocaust in the inclusivity/exclusivity problem and what should be done now that it has happened. Lastly, Robert Rees talks about the New Testament, Hebrew Bible and the Book of Mormon.
