Multi-Faith Chaplaincy: benefits and challenges
Workshop Description and Topic
In this workshop we will present a few case studies of lived interfaith / multi-faith setting from a few universities. We will highlight what inspires us in a multi-faith setting as well as looking at the challenges this can bring.
