The 30th Annual Spiritual Life Institute
The Dead Sea Scrolls: History, Religion, and Scripture
June
25-29, 2012
For thirty years the
Religious Studies
Department at Saint
Martin's University
has offered a unique
theology program
that explores the
histories, ethics,
and beliefs of the
world's religious
traditions.
Each summer,
renowned
theologians,
scholars of
religion, and
advocates for social
justice share their
thoughts and
experiences with
participants and
students in order to
inspire awareness,
challenge
preconceived
notions, and shed
light upon the
spiritual journey in
an increasingly
globalized world.
The Spiritual Life Institute is a five-day
intensive learning program in which
participants:
Dialogue with scholars and
practitioners who are active in the study of
religion, theological reflection, and the
propagation of peace and justice;
Engage with educators who
creatively share their wisdom, vision, and
experiences;
Reflect on emerging expressions
of spirituality and faith so as to broaden our
understanding of the religious experience and
create the possibility for personal and social
transformation.
