Workshop Explores Religious Diversity
To promote better understanding of the various religions practiced within the San Fernando Valley, Cal State Northridge and the San Fernando Valley Interfaith Council will host a daylong workshop on religious diversity on Saturday.
The session, “Cultures and Religions: Seeds of Coexistence,” will cover a broad range of topics from American mainstream denominations to Zen to witchcraft, organizers said.
“It will be an opportunity for people to learn about the great religious diversity within our community,” said Allyn Axelton, director of CSUN’s United Campus Ministry.
Organizers have planned some 25 workshops, including “Can Same-Sex Unions Receive Religious Blessing?,” “What Evangelical Protestants Believe,” “Messianic Ideas in Judaism,” “The Truth About Witchcraft: An Introduction to the Modern Resurgence of an Ancient Religion” and “Grassroots Interfaith Dialogue: An Approach to Community Healing and Peace Making.”
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the CSUN Student Union, 18111 Nordhoff St. Registration is $15 and includes a box lunch.
