The First Annual Conference of Religions in Conversation will be an exploration of passages addressing relationships with insiders and outsiders, and points of inclusivity and exclusivity, within the Sacred Texts of six groups: Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Zoroastrianism, LDS/Mormonism, & Hinduism.
What do these Sacred Texts say about the tension between inclusivity & exclusivity?
Are there actions proscribed by the text for treatment of insiders and outsiders?
