WHO: ONE: The Digital Dialog, the new web site that presents side-by-side comparisons of the faith, beliefs and traditions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
WHAT: ONE: The Digital Dialog announces this edition’s feature topic: Women’s Work. In this Dialog, ONE takes a look at how the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths view the role of women in the history of faith as seen in the Torah, Bible and Koran.
WHERE:
WHEN: May 7, 2008
WHY: Most people assume that the role of women, according to the scripture, is to simply bear children and nurture them. Though bearing and protecting the lineage of the faithful is a most important role, women have served in ways that are historically unconventional, such as Deborah, a judge and military leader from the Torah. While others, like Mary the Mother of Christ, have left an indelible mark on the history of faith. ONE: The Digital Dialog will take a look at the many roles that women have played in the scriptures while also discussing their importance within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
ONE’s ultimate goal is to help promote religious understanding. More information is available about this topic and others covered by ONE. The ONE writers, expert authors and educators in the fields of Jewish, Muslim and Christian beliefs and customs, are available to provide information and interviews on this and other faith-based or current event topics.
