Religion on the Global Scene: The Killer That Heals
Colwell Playhouse Theatre, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts
500 South Goodwin Avenue
Urbana
How can the same phenomenon, religion, serve some movements as an agency of destruction and others as an instrument of reconciliation? Martin Marty discusses militant fundamentalisms, ethnonationalism and other disruptive and "killing" expressions of religion, contrasting them with the "healing" elements of interreligious cooperation, movement toward economic interaction, and work toward peace.
