A Bird’s-Eye Introduction to World Religions
Curious about what adherents of other religions in your neighborhood or around the world believe? Together we’ll engage a brief overview of twelve of the world's major religions, including Baha'i, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Shintoism and Sikhism. For each, we’ll explore its name, numbers and distribution around the world, its key symbols, history, Scriptures, major beliefs, subgroups, worship practices, home practices, clothing, diet and calendar. Also included are brief descriptions of sixteen new religious movements and traditional or tribal religions. Our main resource will be Pocket Guide to World Religions by Win Corduan. Sign up in the Gathering Space or contact Jim Hoover (jimhoover@stanfordalumni.org) directly. Cost of the book is $10. Make checks or online contributions to St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, memo: Adult Formation.
