Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and Christianity: sharing our faith stories to increase understanding and appreciation
Fear, distrust, and misinformation have often characterized the relationships between Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities. This is still the case today. Featuring a panel of Jewish, Muslim and Christian thinkers, this program will help participants understand the forms of antisemitism and Islamophobia in contemporary American society, and dispel the biases that contribute to these forms of prejudice and hate.
Featured panelists are Dr. Charles Cohen, E. Gordon Fox Professor of American Institutions, Emeritus, at UW-Madison, Dr. Sulfiqar Shah, Director of Religious Affairs of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, and Rev. Dr. Julie Mavity Maddalena, Ulrich Ethicist in Residence, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion and Chaplain at Lakeland University. The panel will be moderated by Rev. Dr. Karl Kuhn, Grace Chair of Religious Studies and Professor of Religion at Lakeland University.
The presentation will include time for questions.
This program is sponsored by the Wisconsin Conference UCC Christian Education/Faith Formation Committee and Lakeland University.
