Scholars and religious leaders will gather at Drake University on Wednesday, Nov. 28, for a panel discussion of how the world’s religions and philosophies define ultimate reality. The discussion, which is free and open to the public, will start at 7:30 p.m. in Bulldog Theater in Olmsted Center, 2875 University Ave.
The discussion will focus on the following questions:
- Are all religions and philosophies “paths” to the same destination?
- Is it possible or desirable to compare the world’s ultimate realities?
The panelists will be:
- Kanwarpal Dhugga, president of the Iowa Sikh Temple
- Ibrahim Dremali, former imam of the Islamic Center of Des Moines
- Muir Eaton, Drake assistant professor of biology
- Jennifer Harvey, Drake assistant professor of religion
- Zuiko Redding, resident teacher at the Cedar Rapids Zen Center
- Allen Scult, Drake professor of philosophy
