On April 8th 2006 the University of Winchester will be hosting an
international conference entitled 'Faith, Spirituality & Social Change'.
The conference invites discussion about the dynamic dimensions of
inter-faith dialogue and multi-faith action across a range of social
change issues. Opening the debate to include academic perspectives and
grass-roots voices will allow for broader conversations about the
current state and future direction of faith-based social change. Local,
national and international delegates from Europe, Asia, Israel, Africa
and the USA are presenting at the event.
Keynote speakers currently include Fazlun M. Khalid, Founder Director of
the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences, and John
Smith from The Alliance of Religions and Conservation. We have received
an impressive range of papers and outlines for workshops on themes
including gender and sexuality, ecology, non-violent communication,
interfaith, young people, education, art and activism. Speakers will
explore many faiths through these themes including Christianity, Islam,
Buddhism, Judaism, Neo-Paganism and New Age spirituality.
We look forward to your participation in this exciting event.
Registration forms and a selection of papers are available on our
website <www.fsscconference.org.uk> or on request from the convenors.
Yours Faithfully,
