CLS Offers Short Term Course on Islam, Christianity, and Religious Diversity
How do we navigate
this world of religious pluralism? Many of us have Hindu neighbours, Muslim
acquaintances, and atheist or agnostic relatives. Concordia Lutheran Seminary is
offering an M.Div. level course that addresses these issues. Drawing on both
anthropological and theological insights, this course aims to be a friendly,
charitable, and hospitable study of other religions, focusing closely on Islam.
The instructor, Rev. Ken
Chitwood, is an LCMS pastor and accomplished scholar. The course will explore
Islam, study Christian-Muslim relations (past and present), and consider how
Christians might foster peace-making in inter-religious encounters on a broader
scale.
When: January 3 – 14,
2018, 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Where: Concordia
Lutheran Seminary (7040 Ada Blvd NW, Edmonton)
Participants are
required to hold a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) to enroll. For academic
credit, tuition is $840. LCC churchworkers may audit the course for $100.
