This course, popular in the past, is making a welcome return. The 'Comparative religions' course involves a systematic comparison of the doctrines and practices of some of the world religions and will cover Middle Eastern, Indian, East Asian and Oceanic faiths. In order to gain a richer experience of a particular faith, a relevant film will be screened to enhance the understanding of and the diverse nature of the religions being studied. Faiths covered will include, Pacific Islander, Australian Indigenous beliefs, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Taoism, Christianity and Judaism. The tutor, Laurence Neal, is travelling from Wangaratta to teach the course, so participants will be asked to contribute $1 towards his travel costs.
