Faith and Globalization 2009 - Audio Faith & Globalization Course
-
- Religion & Spirituality
The impact of religious faith is profound in a world where political, economic, and social spheres are increasingly interconnected. Intentional and sustained reflection on the crucial issues of faith and globalization can lead to the kind of reconciliation and peaceful coexistence that life in the 21st century demands.
Yale, in collaboration with the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, launched the Faith and Globalization Initiative in the Fall of 2008 as a three-year effort to conduct dialogue as a way of considering these essential issues. This iTunes Collection explores a variety of topics and issues －in the classroom, in formal lectures and informal conversation, and through research, speeches, conferences, and the Internet. The topics in this collection reflect the conversation about faith and globalization that has been taking place in and out of the classroom during the fall 2009 course.
Additional links, articles and digital media will be added to the Faith and Globalization web site as the Initiative takes further shape in the months ahead.
