FROM DIALOGUE ON PRECEPTS TO DIALOGUE OF LIFE” HIS HOLINESS ARAM I AT GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, DOHA CAMPUS
02/23/2011 On Wednesday 23 February, Catholicos Aram I lectured at the Georgetown University campus in Doha on the topic “The Response of Religions to Current Issues and Challenges.” In his lecture he spoke of how religion, when it moves from the private to the public sphere, shapes people’s self-understanding. With this changing perspective, he noted, interreligious dialogue becomes imperative. This dialogue is easier between the three monotheistic religions, because they have common roots and share common values, which should enable them to work together on issues of human rights, global warming and other social concerns.
