Sacred Languages Symposium: 'Human Dignity'

This symposium invites select scholars and practitioners in the field of scriptural studies of the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, the Qur’an, or other sacred texts to examine and explore various facets of how the sacred languages are understood, used, and interpreted in various cultural and historical contexts. This year the symposium focuses on how “Human Dignity” has been understood and conveyed from sacred texts into various religious and cultural traditions. Attendees do not need to have any background in specific languages, but only an interest and curiosity to learn. Director: The Rev. Dr. David D.

By this we may say that he seems to have in mind not only every person's claim (in the essence of who they are, as created by God) to receive compassion, but also every person's accountability to show it.

It is also one of the biggest Muslim-populated country, which is known for its unique variety of “Indonesian Islam.” The talk will delve into the state ideology and philosophy of Pancasila (the five principles) and how human dignity is incorporated into the discourse and praxis in realpolitik and the management of religious diversity.
