Religion Workshop: Missiology For A Essay

Materials: Today's materials will be the same as the previous days.

Activities:

9:00-9:10: Opening prayer

9:10-11:00: Crash course/review of world religions based on credible source material written from each faith's point-of-view or from a non-biased, scholarly source.

11:00-12:00: Each participant uses his or her personal electronic device or notebook to write down specific areas of concern and possible roadblocks to interfaith dialogue.

12:00-1:00: Lunch

1:00-2:00: Share the concerns addressed by each participant openly, engaging in a dialogue of our own. Understanding that our participants are from diverse backgrounds, each will have unique perspectives on multiple faiths. Some will have had first-hand experiences with other faiths. This is the time to share, and may run over the allotted hour.

2:00-3:00: Brainstorm the possible obstacles to understanding the Christian point-of-view,...

Write down goals of dialogue, and specific rhetorical strategies that can be used, referencing the speakers we watched earlier in the day. Participants will develop lists of areas of agreement, focusing on the intersections between Christianity and other religions.
4:00-5:00: Wrapping it all up. Questions to be asked and discussed in group setting include the following. How does interfaith dialogue work? Why does it work, and why is interfaith dialogue important? How can interfaith dialogue be improved? How can it become more integrated with politics and public policy? What role will you, the participant, play in interfaith dialogue?
