Kuwait Symposium on Dialogue Between Religions

Volume 6|Issue 22| Autumn 2017 |Reports

Abstract

Many symposia concerning religions have been convened over the last two decades. Each has contributed a building block to build an understanding of the phenomenon of religion as lived in religious scriptures (comparatively easier) and in reality (which is more difficult). Participants in these seminars have become unconsciously divided into two groups: one content and pious, involved in the content of scripture; and the other anxious and skeptical, seeking the practical results of religion. Participants of the seminar held in Kuwait in November, 2016 were likewise divided into these two groups.
