![]() ![]() ![]() Terry: "I'm not entirely convinced that organizations should initiate training per se on religious diversity, or even if "training" is the right word for the need. Trading notes with a fellow pioneer, I asked Terry for his perspective on creating understanding of religious diversity and the conversation got underway quickly. From my cultural anthropologist perspective, the once-isolated Southeast is a major creative opportunity, similar to the Chicago area 25 years ago when I created the DuPage Interfaith Resource Network. More recently, there has been interest in my work from health care organizations, corporations and business management classes. ![]() However, the influx of international businesses, employees and their families has increased interest and I've had invitations to speak at churches, conferences and universities. Here in the South, where Christianity provides much of the raw material for social, political and economic interaction, there is little active interfaith education beyond pulpit exchanges in religious institutions. I am well aware that there are regional differences shaping the work that Terry and I do. ![]()
