Religion on the Global Scene: The Killer That Heals

Thursday, September 20th, 2001

Event Description

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.
