Course on Comparative Religions
– Spring 2007

“Whatever our individual beliefs we can all benefit from an understanding of other people’s faiths”.

Taking the above statement as the starting point, our tutor Ted Bray enlightened us as to how the world’s major religions and some of the smaller religions developed over time.

It was fascinating to learn about the similarities and differences between the beliefs and practices of followers of different faiths.

With many current news stories illustrating some aspect of religious belief, it was very helpful to be able to discuss the problems associated with the diverse cultural perceptions held throughout the world today.

We are very grateful to Ted for sharing his wide knowledge of this subject with us.
