The Consortium for Christian–Muslim Dialogue invites local faculty, students, and members of the general public to the “Religion & Society Lecture Series” of monthly talks. The series has been organized in collaboration with the Turkish Cultural Center of Pittsburgh, which will provide refreshments.
The 28 member states of the European Union have faced considerable challenges of late as hundreds of thousands of migrants flood the land and sea borders to enter Europe. It is clear that the members do not all agree on how to handle the crisis. But the movement of people continues unabated. And with no end in sight to the conflicts that prompt many people to make their way to Europe at any cost, it is likely to continue for some time.
Organized by the Consortium for Christian-Muslim Dialogue (CCMD) of Duquesne University in collaboration with the Turkish Cultural Center of Pittsburgh.
Father Stephen Concordia, O.S.B., Director of Programs in Sacred Music at Saint Vincent College, and Professor Sadık Kara of Fatih University, Istanbul, will discuss the place of music in Christian and Muslim life.
Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
