SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: “Humility”
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum had its monthly circle on September 12\, 2024\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on “Humility” with our study leader\, The Reverend Aaron R. Dunn\, from the Grace Episcopal Church\, Silver Spring\, MD. \nScriptural Reasoning (SR) allows Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims to study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet monthly to read short passages from their respective scriptures on a topic. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s scriptures and the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n                Scriptural Reasoning: Introduction                         Islamic Scripture: Quran \n            \n               Christian Scripture: New Testament               Jewish Scripture: Hebrew Bible \n            \nThis Month`s Study Leader \n \nThe Reverend Aaron R. Dunn serves as Associate Rector at Grace Episcopal Church in Silver Spring\, MD\, and Part-time Chaplain at Christ Episcopal School\, Rockville. He graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary\, earning a Masters in Divinity and a certificate in Muslim-Christian Studies through the Washington Theological Consortium. In 2024\, he was awarded the Anglican Communion Prize through the Center for Anglican Communion Studies at VTS for his “dedication to international Christian mission and theological understanding across cultural and theological differences.” Aaron has been a discussion facilitator for interreligious organizations such as the Institute for Islamic\, Christian\, and Jewish Studies and the Rumi Forum. \nIn 2022\, he participated in the ICJS’ Emerging Religious Leader’s Program\, focusing on Muslim-Christian Dialogue.
