How are clothing and modesty addressed in Christian, Jewish, and Muslim scriptures?
This is a hybrid event. The Zoom link for this session will be provided the day of the event.
Scriptural Reasoning (SR) is a practice where Christians, Jews, and Muslims study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet once a month to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a certain topic. Facilitated by a study leader, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s own scriptures, as well as the development of strong bonds across faith communities.
This month our forum will be led by Rev. Dr. Jay L. Moses from Saint Mark Presbyterian Church, in Rockville, Maryland.
Through a call in the Presbytery of Chicago, Jay found the opportunity to work in Inter-religious and Ecumenical Dialogue, where there’s a vibrant intra-cultural community of Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, etc. “Having the ability to live with these communities in seeking peace and understanding has been a great thrill, adventure, and opportunity for growth in my own spiritual understanding.”
