In the 21st century, the globalization which has made the interfaith and inter-civilizational dialogue the most important challenge of our time. Dr. McMaster will examine Christian, Jewish and Islamic discourses on dialogue, peaceful coexistence and cooperation with people of faiths.
The presentation will look at the nature of globalisation and it’s negative and positive impacts. It will recognise how our religions are now themselves globalised, present on every continent, and how they need to engage in a dialogue of religions. This imperative is in order to identify shared ethics for a more humane globalisation and to create together eco-human flourishing and a common good.
