Alway/Emmanuel Symposium, Jan 12-14, 2025

Interreligious teaching and learning is happening both in classrooms (including in professional schools with a secular mission and in theological schools founded in a sectarian traditions), as well as outside of classroom contexts in social movements and activism circles. This conference investigates important questions that are related to interreligious teaching and learning both in and outside of classrooms. For example, what wise practices for bridging different identities and contexts have emerged in interreligious contexts? What boundaries remain important to observe, and what boundaries can be redefined? How do we practice interreligious teaching and learning in ways that promote social justice?

"Nostra Aetate: What Has It Taught and Mistaught Us about Interreligious Dialogue?"

Keynote Speaker:  Marianne Moyaert specializes in the (comparative) theology of religions, interreligious hermeneutics, research into the religio-racial constellation and Jewish-Christian relations. She has a particular interest in the ritual and material dimensions of interreligious encounters.

This symposium is jointly sponsored by Emmanuel College in celebration of its multireligious programs and by the Alway Symposium at the University of St. Michael’s College.

Free to attend, but registration is required.
