Religious
Issues Forum facilitates discussion of religious
issues that cross boundaries between faiths and belief systems, and which
are of interest to believers in many different religious organizations.
The opportunity for dialog, especially interfaith dialog, takes place across
religious barriers which traditionally have been uncrossable. Courtesy
and respect for different beliefs are expected and staff moderation encourages
members to express their ideas openly while maintaining consideration for
opposing thought.
The library provides a variety of informative files, such as documents on the existence of God, the Charismatic Movement, Twelve Step recovery programs, religious humor, the nature of economy with respect to historic religious principles and many more.
