As we reconstruct our communities following the COVID-19 crisis, we must reflect on what sort of community we want to build. These seminars will help us in this process.
It will be addressing how we build those bonding relationships with family and close friends which are the essence of supportive community life.
In each seminar four speakers from different traditions and contexts will speak to the topic, followed by discussion. The speakers will include:
Through these seminars we will seek to find what is common between our different traditions and backgrounds and understand our differences.
Building Bridging Community
Bridges are the relationships through which people work together on common interests, through which people find and give each other the resources that are needed for living. They are the relationships we form with people through our religious communities, work and sport, our neighbours and other people we know through our local communities. The seminar will explore how religious faiths can help to build the
‘bridges’ in which there is trust and reciprocity.
