Forgiveness Symposium: The Jain-Christian Interreligious Dialogue on Forgiveness (Claremont School of Theology)

This year (2024), We organize the Forgiveness Symposium titled, Jain-Christian Interreligious Dialogue on the concept, philosophy, and practices on the notion of Forgiveness in both Jain and Christian religious traditions. The symposium will have two parts. First, there will be two keynote speakers representing both Jain and Christian traditions, who will deliver a talk on the concept on forgiveness in each tradition as well as with a focus on interreligious aspect. The keynote talks will be followed by a Respondents’ Forum session in which select invited students of CST will respond to the talks of the keynote speakers. The second part of the symposium is aimed at providing students with the opportunity to present on the theme of forgiveness with an interreligious perspective. A call for paper announcement will be circulated to invite abstracts.
