Interreligious Encounters along the Silk Road -- People traversed the Silk Road connecting Europe and Asia for centuries to engage in trade, diplomacy, war, or proselytizing. The Tang dynasty (618-907) was a particularly lively time for encounters between people from different regions in hubs like Dunhuang, an oasis city at the edge of the Chinese empire.
We welcome Dr. Megan Bryson, who will take us down the Tang-dynasty Silk Road, focusing on how travelers from western regions adapted their religions-whether Christianity, Manichaeism, or Zoroastrianism-to Chinese visual and textual forms. Her talk's broader goal is to consider how premodern interreligious encounters and adaptations along the Silk Road inform our present-day encounters with religious differences.
We invite all to the 11:00 am Eucharist with music & choir.
