Workshop
- • Interface with various faith traditions considering the opportunity of pluralistic worship addressing: “How can multiple faith traditions engage each other without supersession or a need to convert in a worshipping community?”
- • Explore the call of the community to accountability to social and environmental justice traits that help to develop a collective identity in worship and praxis; and, the social traits work contrary to religious pluralism as the practice of social and environmental justice?
- • Examine as a teaching tool “Breaking Fallow Ground.” This tool uses tawhid, or “the oneness of God,” “unity,” as a theological framework for our work and study towards embracing a multiplicity of faith traditions. We will evaluate cultural competencies needed for mainline protestant denominations needed to redefine and train other leaders in cultural knowledge, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, and cultural action with appropriate action, scope, and components for a pluralistic sacred environment.
- • Evaluate a congregational component experiencing cultural competency for training in multifaith worship that intentionally focuses on pluralism towards land redistribution towards equitable allocation of environmental benefits towards healthy food distribution: and culture knowledge, cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity and cultural action with appropriate action, scope and components.
