Interfaith Forum Ground Rules

A few days ago I posted an entry about the Interfaith Forums 2007 so today I'm posting the ground rules. We could all learn from these rules when dealing with other religions. The rules are written in such a way that they encourage discussions rather than arguments.

Enlightenment rather than proselytizing encourages education. There are many things that the various religions have in common. One of the most important thing that all religions share is the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is phrased differently by the various holy books and religions, but it means the same thing - Treat others the way you want them the treat you.

These Interfaith forums encourage people to practice the golden rule. They reveal both the things each religion has in common with the others and the differences. They encourage respect for other religions. These forums are fun to attend and educational. I would encourage everyone to attend one or all of the forums possible. I know I'm going to attend as many as I can. I'll post more about the up coming schedule in a few days.
