Zoom Presentation on the Global Ethic

President Grudzen hosted a Zoom interfaith event on Wednesday, June 21st, at 4 PM Pacific Time to recognize the contribution of Hans Kung to the Global Ethic movement of the Parliament of the World’s Religions. 

Kung played a key role in the restarting of the Parliament in 1993 and GMU will have a delegation of 12 at the upcoming Parliament in August of 2023.

Pacifica Institute in California promoted the June 21 event with GMU. Doctor Recep Dogan, an Islamic theologian, was a member of the panel along with Doctor Sterling Harwood, GMU faculty member and author of books on ethics. Doctor Harwood and President Grudzen met with Hans Kung at a week-long seminar on global ethical issues at Santa Clara University in 2005.

Zoom Presentation on Hans Kung and The Beginning of All Things: Science and Religion

As a follow-up to the June 21 presentation and as a lead-up to the Parliament of the World’s Religions, President Grudzen offered a second presentation on Hans Kung on Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 4 PM PDST on Zoom. The focus was on Kung’s consideration of the compatibility of religion and science.

Both presentation are available on the GMU YouTube channel.

I wish to thank you, the presenters and organizers for such a wonderful event. The engagement made the event truly special and meaningful. It was a delight to witness the diverse perspectives and ideas shared during the talk, and your well-researched presentations enriched my experience as well.

Shalom!
