"Faith in the Commons: Becoming Neighbours includes the Personal and the Political”
Lecture—7:00 pm // Reception—8:30 pm (Please RSVP through the Regis Website.)
One of the most exciting developments in political theology is the renewed awareness that “the neighbour” creates a new space “in-between” the personal and the political. Professor Leddy will illustrate and explore how becoming neighbours summons new forms of spirituality and politics and provides common ground for interfaith and cross- cultural relationships.
Presented by Dr. Mary Jo Leddy, Romero House Founder and Regis College Professor
Respondents: Shahid Akhtar and Dr. Barbara Landau, Co-Chairs, Canadian Association of Jews and Muslims
Moderator: Dr. Michael Stoeber, Scarboro Missions Chair in Interreligious Dialogue, Regis College
The 8:30 pm reception following the Lecture will also include the reception for the Art Exhibit, “Neighbourhood Earth,” which is on display all of February 2020, at Regis College at the University of Toronto. Please register through the Regis Website.
