History of the Interfaith Movement

This course will introduce students to the historical evolution of the formal interfaith movement, from its genesis in 1893 with the Parliament to a fully developed global movement. Students will be exposed to the critical issues that each faith group encountered often hostile-as they attempted to engage in dialogue. Students will be required to study the major interfaith organizations that constituted the foundation of the interfaith movement. Additionally, students will research and analyze the various edicts, theological documents, and formal decrees of those organizations which were pivotal in facilitating interfaith dialogue and collaboration.
