by Pluralism Project Staff

Dear friends of the Pluralism Project, We cordially invite you to an upcoming panel discussion at Harvard University entitled "Multi-Faith Spaces as Agents of Change." Please see below for further details. We hope that you will consider joining us for this event! Best wishes, The Pluralism Project ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** *Multi-Faith Spaces as Agents of Change* Tuesday, September 6, 2011 *4:30-6:00 PM* Fong Auditorium (110 Boylston Hall, Harvard University) * * *Panelists include:* Dr. Ralf Brand • Dr. Andrew Crompton • Dr. Chris Hewson *The Manchester Architectural Research Centre (University of Manchester, UK) * *Moderated by:* Dr. Diana Eck, Harvard University Join us for a panel discussion on the social, political, and religious implications of multi-faith spaces. Are these spaces, made increasingly available to the public by both public and private organizations, a place where divergent worldviews might be brought together for reconciliation? Do multi-faith spaces offer fertile ground for new religious practices might thrive? Are these spaces constructed to promote narrow socio-political agendas that focus on cohesion in a world of fragmentation? Or are multi-faith spaces simply attempts to appease customers in places such as airports, shopping centers, or universities? Drs. Ralf Brand, Andrew Crompton, and Chris Hewson will share insights of their research team from this multi-year project. Dr. Diana Eck, Director of the Pluralism Project at Harvard University, will moderate this event. This event is hosted by the Pluralism Project at Harvard University<http://www.pluralism.org/>.
