Berkley Center

Fr. Vincent Sekhar's visit to Georgetown was built around themes of interreligious dialogue, and at this event he specifically addressed the need for youth participants in Indian interreligious dialogue. India, with its tradition of pluralism and history of sectarian violence, is a particularly challenging environment within which to pursue high levels of dialogue. Building on his experience as the Jesuit assistant secretary of interreligious dialogue in South East Asia, Fr. Sekhar works to contribute to the evolution of a theology of religions which allows for reconciliation between religion and civil government and encourages people of all faiths to participate in a democratic, secular society irrespective of their religious background.
