Deadline to submit the final paper on interfaith dialogue is Friday, May 10th. Late and make-up assignments will not be accepted.
Paper about interfaith/interreligious dialogue:
Please do not underestimate the importance of this assignment. It requires more than a few days or one week to be completed.
Requirements: at least 2500 words, no more than 3000 words, APA style format (see: citation resources below), submission via safe assignment, four separate sections.
The paper must include four separate sections:
(1) an introduction to the concept of interfaith/interreligious dialogue that demonstrates you have done research (at least five different references for this part alone, at least 500 words)
(2) a discussion of guidelines to practice interfaith/interreligious dialogue in which you compare and contrast at least two sets of guidelines (at least 500 words)
I recommend these two sets of guidelines, but you may use others of similar depth.

(3) a personal reflection about your own practice of dialogue with someone from a different religion (the more different the better; describe your thoughts and emotions before, during, and after the dialogue) (at least 1000 words)
Section (3) Meeting with someone in person to engage in dialogue is preferred. If this is not possible due to current health considerations, virtual or phone meetings may be substituted. The full point requirements for this section in the rubric include meeting at least two times.(see: attached rubric)
(4) a conclusion in which you explain what you have learned about yourself and the religion you engaged in dialogue (at least 500 words)
