Open Education: Peace-making in an age of terror.
Tuesday September 14th, 2010
Is religion just part of the problem, or can it help bring peace to a troubled and deeply divided world?
On Tuesday 14 September (note the shift in day) at 7.30pm in the Mornington Methodist Church, Galloway Street, our Open Education programme presents a dialogue between two distinguished staff members of the University of Otago, Professor Andrew Bradstock, Howard Paterson Professor of Theology and Public Issues, and Dr Najibullah Lafraie, Senior Lecturer in Politics and former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs in the Government of Afghanistan, about the possibility of peace-making in an age of terror (and terrorists).
They approach the topic from their own faith perspectives, and we are hoping to have the participation of the Dunedin Buddhist community as well.
Dont miss this unique opportunity to hear what these well-informed speakers have to say about a subject that grabs the worlds media headlines every day.
There is a charge of $5 for admission and a light supper.
As usual, this presentation will be preceded by a meal at 6pm, catered by Judy Russell at a charge of $15.
Ring Professor Colin Gibson by Sunday 12 September to book your place at the table.
