Nov. 15, 2024 | Film Viewing and Healing Circle: Where Olive Trees Weep
Film Viewing and Healing Circle: Where Olive Trees Weep
Friday, Nov. 15, at 5:30 p.m. at EM001 in Emmanuel College
Join us and the International Students of Islamic Psychology (ISIP) - Toronto Chapter for an important film viewing of "Where Olive Trees Weep." The film features the lived experiences of Palestinians and their struggles and resilience under occupation, as well as Dr. Gabor Maté, a world-renowned Canadian physician who specializes in trauma healing. The film explores themes of loss, trauma and the quest for justice.
ISIP Toronto will also help to provide a safe space with some pre-and post-film discussions in order to build awareness of interfaith responses to dealing with suffering, and crisis and the processing of emotions in a collective space. This will help provide opportunities for leaders and community members to understand inclusive practices of care.
Jan. 12-14, 2025 | Alway/Emmanuel Symposium - Bridges and Boundaries: Religious Diversities in the 21st Century Classroom
Alway/Emmanuel Symposium – Bridges and Boundaries: Religious Diversities in the 21st Century Classroom
Jan. 12–14, Emmanuel College and the University of St. Michael's College, registration details forthcoming
About the Symposium
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 tradition), 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?
Keynote Speaker
Marianne Moyaert – Nostra Aetate: What Has It Taught and Mistaught Us about Interreligious Dialogue?
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.
