Recenzii
"Edited
by
Teasdale,
a
Catholic
religious
brother
and
trustee
of
the
Council
for
a
Parliament
of
the
World's
Religions
(CPWR),
and
Cairns
(applied
theology
and
spirituality,
Chicago
Theological
Seminary),
this
work
is
an
eminently
useful
collection
of
essays
by
participants
at
the
1993
Parliament
of
the
World's
Religions,
held
in
Chicago
from
August
28
to
September
5,
1993.
The
purpose
of
the
second
parliament
was
not
only
to
celebrate
the
100th
anniversary
of
the
first
(also
held
in
Chicago)
but
also
to
take
current
stock
of
the
state
of
religion
in
contemporary
secularized
society
and
to
present
a
new
vision
of
religion's
role
in
the
third
millennium.
This
collection
of
essays
offers
representative
impressions,
ideas,
images,
and
proposed
courses
of
action
from
contributors
of
diverse
religious
backgrounds
(e.g.
the
Dalai
Lama,
Archbishop
Francesco
Gioria)
who
participated
in
the
parliament's
sessions."
"In 1993, representatives from the multitude of the world's great religious traditions met in Chicago to celebrate the centennial of the 1893 World Parliament of Religions. The speeches, poems and essays collected in this volume reflect the sense of harmony and community that emerged from the discussions among adherents of widely diverse religions. Included in the collection are the voices of religious leaders like the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Francesco Gioia, and of scholars like Paul Knitter and Byron Sherwin, discussing topics ranging from spiritual pluralism and religious ritual to global ethics and the future of religions. A helpful opening section provides a comparative historical overview of the 1893 and 1993 Parliaments while an extensive appendix offers a variety of resources available for exploring the impact of the two Parliaments upon the world's religious communities. By capturing the spirit of understanding and acceptance that marked the 1993 Parliament, this collection challenges and inspires the world's religions to move beyond narrow sectarianism to a wide religious pluralism as they seek to provide spiritual values to a culture increasingly enamored of material values."
