Christian Ministry in Multi-Religious America: Boston Workshop
Christian Ministry in Multi-Religious America: Boston Workshop will provide opportunities for Boston-based academics, ministers, ministers-in-training, and other leaders to develop tools for a Christian ministry that is effectively grounded in the complex issues and urgent realities of our increasingly multi-religious city.
This workshop, which is made possible through generous funding from the Louisville Institute and the Carpenter Foundation, is envisioned as way to engage directly with the religious diversity of greater Boston, and to enrich our own ministries and work through these encounters. The Pluralism Project will serve as a liaison to the communities with whom we have built deep relationships over the years through our World Religions in Boston project, organizing site visits and opportunities for theological reflection.
