Today, a growing number of communities has sought to promote interreligious dialogue. I am the Secretary of an alliance between the religions of Southern California. Yesterday we had our meeting in April. As usual, our Alliance members spend a good part of the meeting participated in a religious Exchange. Is it that useful exchange? It seems to be. Yesterday, we found a similarity between the Islamic Koran and the Jewish Torah. We have also faced the need to formulate a not polarizing way to continue the dialogue. We have come to realize that, if we want to be an organization of operation for a significant amount of time, then cannot have a clash of minds at each meeting.
The city that we have our meeting sends a representative to each monthly meeting. Our group has already helped the city to deal with an emotionally charged issue. It was the attempt to establish a Centre for residents suffer from some sort of disorder of metal. Firstly, many of the locals show an attitude of "NIMBY". With the support of our partnership, the Center finally became a reality. It is the first of its kind in the State of California. During the meeting of may of our Alliance, we are visiting this Center.
I look forward to getting the chance to interact with physicians in the Centre. As a former biology major, I have a question I want to answer. I want to know how to compare the needs of the mentally ill to the needs of people with neurological disorders. Don't see any reason why not do a related question from science when I'm in a circle of people with religious mentality. To do so, would be following the dictates of my own chosen faith. That faith has included "harmony of science and religion" among its basic principles.
