DISCOVERING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY: Contemporary Beliefs and Practices
As in many parts of the New Zealand, Tauranga is growing in religious diversity. Every day we can see people of different faiths dressed differently. We are increasingly finding ourselves associating with members of different cultures and faiths whether recreationally, socially or in the workforce. Have you ever wondered what people in those faiths believe and how why some of them dress so differently? Have you ever wondered what happens in a Muslim mosque or Sikh temple? This course invites you to explore the diverse religious traditions contributing to New Zealand society.
The topics for this term include: Foundations & Founder Figures; Sacred Texts; Image & Iconography; Prayer & Worship; Sacred Time; Sacred Spaces; Sacred Music; Sacred Clothing.
Please note: the course is conducted in an entirely objective non-judgmental environment, presenting all faith traditions in equal light.
The classes will be held at St. George’s Anglican Church, 1 Church Street, Gate Pa, on Friday nights from 6-8pm, beginning on 3rd August.
The course cost is Waged: $80 per term; Unwaged/Students/Seniors: $65 per term
