Hindu-Christian Dialogue

National Council of Churches Announces New Dialogue

The National Council of Churches USA and The Guibord Center – Religion Inside Out are pleased to announce their intention to explore the formation of a  new Hindu-Christian Dialogue.  The Christian convener of this dialogue, national in scope, will be Dr. Jesudas Athyal of the Mar Thoma Church, and Visiting Researcher at the Center for Global Christianity & Mission.

The direction of the new dialogue will be set by the participants, though it is envisioned that they will include theological matters as well as issues pertaining to conflict and peace.  Introductory meetings with Buddhist and Hindu leaders in the western United States will take place in the coming months with the intention of beginning the dialogues in late 2017 or early 2018.
