JAISON: "Love is the gate for all problems of the Universe.” Novices were much benefited through the course on "Fundamentalism & Inter-Religious Dialogue" by Fr Terence Farias SJ. The topic 'fundamentalism' is often heard and discussed in our country. Religious Fundamentalism has created detrimental effects on human life by which there is a threat for everyone’s survival. Love is destroyed and hatred is restored in the hearts of the people. Today let us join our hands together to fight for the human rights and tackle the spread of the evil called religious fundamentalism.
N: I had a great desire to learn about the Hindutva Ideology in addition to Christian Fundamentalism. This course has laid a solid foundation to understand this topic in a better way. What we need in today's world, particularly in our Country, is a meaningful dialogue between different religions. We need to make efforts to understand the effects of religious fundamentalism. Awareness of our context and history helps us in this venture. We must realize that, ‘we too have sinned’ as John Paul II said on 12th March 2000. My vision for humankind is that we build a peace loving and more humane society.
