We followed up with a comparison between the origins of religion and religion today. After developing a list of features of the origins, we looked at what we could see as the differences today. Our conclusion was that much of the original list still applied but some less comfortable cultural aspects that had crept in i.e. power, greed, idealism and seeing things in black and white even though a more mature approach would see more grey.
Homework for this month is to look at the website www.religioustolerance.org Freida will look for some information on the encyclicals by Pope Francis.
