Making the Familiar Strange
Join us for December’s Making the Familiar Strange as we look at the religious histories of women’s veiling. This month’s discussion will cover the various religious and cultural traditions of women covering at least part of their hair and when they choose to cover. While in the ancient Levant most people wore veiled head coverings for practical reasons, as the religions of that land have spread worldwide, we’ll consider how the culture of covering has come under varying levels of scrutiny.
Readings:
Torah
New Testament
Quran
Making the Familiar Strange is an opportunity for interfaith dialogue that inspires people of different religious and nonreligious backgrounds to read the same text together.
Rather than providing answers, creating arguments, or shutting down conversation, Making the Familiar Strange gives attendees an opportunity to investigate and share different perspectives on the same texts. While not required, the program is best if you have access to the stories, which can be through a physical copy or online copy of a Bible, Tanakh, and/or Quran.
Tri-Faith Initiative events are recorded and archived on our YouTube Channel.
