Vol. 4 No. 2 (2023): Who is My Neighbour? Interfaith Dialogue and Theological Education in the Global Village

The second issue of volume four of the Journal of the Council for Research on Religion (JCREOR) came out of a colloquium entitled “Who is My Neighbour? Interfaith Dialogue and Theological Education in the Global Village of the 21st Century.”

The event was held at the McGill School of Religious Studies on October 19–20, 2022. Each day included two keynote addresses with their respective panel responses. On October 19, 2022, Amy-Jill Levine and Ingrid Mattson offered two keynote papers on different topics related to Interfaith Dialogue. On October 20, 2022, Robert Hill and Chukwuemeka Anthony Atansi offered two keynote papers on different topics related to Theological Formation in the twenty-first century.

The School of Religious Studies was awarded a grant by the Lilly Endowment, which was initially designated during the Covid 19 epidemic in 2020–2021. However, the School was granted an extension to use the funds in 2022–2023 for in-person symposiums and a preliminary study of student needs in the university’s theological programs.
