ESU Holds Interfaith Dialogue Series Clashes or Dialogues of Faiths: A Christian View

East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies and the Frederick Douglass Institute for Intercultural Studies will host the Interfaith Dialogue Series Clashes or Dialogues of Faiths: A Christian View. This dialogue will take place in Beers Lecture Hall on November 5 from 5 – 6:30 p.m.

This year the lecture welcomes Reverend Walter Wagner, Ph.D., an ordained Christian reverend and academic specialist who has for five decades dedicated himself to inter-religious dialogue. He is the author of four books, including “Opening the Qur’an,” published by the University of Notre Dame Press in 2008. Reverend Wagner also teaches at Moravian Theological Seminary.

Inter-religious dialogue is a pressing topic in the world today, transcending religious, geographical, and cultural boundaries of the globalized village, according to Heon Kim, Ph.D., assistant professor of philosophy and religious studies at ESU.

“On the ESU campus as well as within local communities, we observe the increasing number of people of diverse religions,” Kim said. “For this circumstance, the lecture series is timely to prepare ESU and community members for mutual understanding and harmonious life.”

This event is open to the public at no cost. For more information contact Dr. Kim at 570-422-3602 or heonkim@esu.edu.
