Scriptural Reasoning: the Creation of Humankind

Memorial Chapel, Glasgow University

Wednesday 25 September  

05:30 pm to 08:00 pm

Tea, coffee, and light refreshments at 5.30pm

You’re Invited!

Join us for a special Scriptural Reasoning held in partnership with Glasgow University’s Chaplaincy, exploring the fascinating theme of the creation of humankind. 

Scriptural Reasoning is a widely appreciated form of interfaith dialogue, where small groups come together to read and discuss passages from various religious texts on a particular theme.  In this session, we'll spend half an hour examining texts from the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian traditions. After a brief introduction to each text by a representative from that faith tradition, we'll engage in open, sensitively-facilitated conversations, in which everyone is encouraged to share how the texts resonate with them, to listen thoughtfully to one another, and to ask questions.  The aim is not to reach a consensus on the meaning of the texts, but to arrive at a greater understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives on profound questions.

We’d love for you to join us for some meaningful conversations, accompanied by tea, coffee, and biscuits, in the beautiful setting of the university’s Memorial Chapel.  What better way to spend an evening?

Please note:  registration is essential and spaces are limited, so please reserve your place soon to avoid disappointment!

Interfaith Glasgow hosts numerous Scriptural Reasoning events throughout the year - some in an 'open' format where members of any faith can attend, and others that are limited to Christians, Muslims and Jews, allowing them to explore more deeply the similarities and differences across their common Abrahamic heritage.  Though exploring Abrahamic texts, this is an ‘open’ event:  all are warmly invited to attend, whatever your religious—or non-religious—background.  (We will ask about your background when you register, only to help us ensure diversity in the make-up of the discussion groups.)
