This course is jointly organised by Creative Space at St George's West and The Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association

The 2008 series, using a mixture of discussion & presentation, invites us over 10 weeks to explore some of the world’s major faith traditions. It offers learning for personal use or professional training. Each session of the course will be lead by a speaker from within the Faith Tradition being explored; this particular approach has received very positive feedback from course participants.

Each session will include :

• The Basic Concepts of each faith tradition using a structure based on the ‘Model of Religion’ by Prof Frank Whaling.

• What for each speaker is the Heart of their faith tradition & its contribution to One Scotland.

• A brief experience of a spiritual / ritual practice meditation from each tradition

This series has preparatory reading for each week. The Basic Concepts will be introduced using the “Model of Religion” by Prof Frank Whaling, The Emeritus Professor of the Study of Religion at Edinburgh University, which Prof. Whaling will introduce on the first night of the series.
