Join Miriam and Shahid as they delve deeper into the topic of religion and community in the (post-)modern age.
Regardless of religious background, many people go through a process of examining their childhood belief systems and communities as they enter adulthood and beyond.
- What are the lifelong effects of being raised in more or less insular communities?
- What makes a community healthy or not?
- Can you achieve particularity and openness at the same time?
- How much can we ever “escape” from our community and/or religious origins?
- Can one have strong, sustaining beliefs without falling into fundamentalism and rigidity?
Come hang out and discuss these questions and more!
