Interfaith symposium to consider relationship between Christianity, Judaism and Islam

A symposium Sunday invites youths to discuss their faiths and share the perspectives of Christians, Jews and Muslims.

Organizers call the symposium, Children of Abraham, an opportunity for young people especially to learn from one another and to experience respectful conversation.

It is set for 3 p.m. Sunday, November 27, in Assumption University Chapel and will be facilitated by Norman King and Kevin George.

Dr. King holds the Stephen Jarislowsky Chair in Religion and Conflict and is director of Iona College’s School of Theology. George is a doctoral student at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. His thesis, Conversation not Conversion, focuses on relationship between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
