II. Formation and Transformation of Religious Identity Interreligious learning has the potential to impact religious identity and self-understanding. What do we know about the forces that shape religious identity? What are the implications of what we know when aspects of that identity are challenged in a situation of interreligious learning? How did participants in the Catholic-Jewish Colloquium experience this challenge? In what ways was their religious identity transformed? |

IV. Educating for Religious Identity: Confronting Truth and Ambiguity Two people of very deep faith meet and truly engage around questions of faith. Each reveals and affirms some of the deepest aspects of his or her own faith, and listens attentively and empathetically to the other’s sharing of faith. Does such an encounter destabilize or weaken one’s faith? Strengthen it? How do we educate so that persons can be both grounded in a particular tradition of faith, yet listen to and respect the faith of another? |
