How Do I Teach Religious Dialogue




This is a selective course. I told second year students that this course shares the same reading material as World Religion. But still some second year students selected this course, for they have very strong interest in other religions, I think. Most students are from third year. This week, also about Hinduism. After having them read the same material second year studetns read in World Religion class, I listed below questions for them to discuss in groups and give report:


1) Give a proposal on approaching Hindu, at least 10 methods. You methods should not make a Hindu dislike you, instead, trying to leave a good impression.


2) Give a proposal on talking with Hindu, list at least 10 questions that you can ask a Hindu to have him or her talk more about his or her belief.


3) In your church, a Hindu just came to the Lord, give a proposal on strengthening his faith in Christ.


4) A Christian sister and a Hindu fall in love and they are going to marry. They come to you for pre-marriage counciling, please give a proposal on how you will do their pre-marriage counciling.


5) You married to an Indian Christian, you will live together with his/her parents who are Hindu. What do you plan to do in order to get well along with their parents?


6) Find interesting knowledge about Hinduism on internet to share with class.
