SUMMARY:Exploring Hinduism
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 18\, 2023\n1- 2:30 PM\nFirst Community Church – North Campus – Grace Hall (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA historical\, anthropological\, philosophical and modernist perspective \nHinduism as a faith is seen by many with the widest of interpretations. Some are attracted to its deep philosophy. Some look upon it with intrigue. Some brush it off without attempting to understand. \nHinduism is an anathema to many and for many a refuge or escape from the rest of the world in search of elusive spirituality and mindfulness. \nFor many who are not practicing\, the Hindu faith holds a mystical charm. Some call it idol worship and some call it a polytheistic faith. Many religious scholars provide their own interpretations without much of an understanding. \nJoin us for an interactive conversation where we’ll explore: \n\n\nThe meaning of Hindu and Hinduism \n\n\nThe origins of the Hindu religion \n\n\nHow and when the religion was established \n\n\nKey tenets of Hinduism \n\n\nHindu God \n\n\nDifferences between Hinduism and the Abrahamic religions \n\n\n\nFree. Donations accepted. Register here.
