Dr. Levent Koc, Interfaith Dialog Center
Dr. Richard M. Shain from Philadelphia University moderated the panel discussion and asked below questions to each panelist.
1- Talk about a sacred object in your religion. What role does it have in ritual? What makes it sacred?
2- What does respecting the Sacred mean for each of our religious faiths?
3- What are we taught about respecting the Sacred as defined and designated by our own faith tradition?
4- How ought we to interact with the Sacred as defined and designated in faith traditions other than our own?
