In its 21 years of operation, the Scarboro Missions Interfaith Office sought to educate and inform teachers and students about interfaith dialogue. Some of the many resources developed were a Teacher Training Workshop and a World Religions Retreat Day.<\/p>\n
In the fall of 2000, Scarboro Missions sponsored a workshop to train world religion teachers. In those years, there were no organizations, schools or university programs for teacher training in this field throughout North America. Scarboro Missions collaborated with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic school Board in sponsoring two training days. Teachers spent the day working in small groups with representatives of various faiths. Scarboro Missions has also consulted with religious department heads in various boards on the subject of world religions and interfaith.<\/p>\n
Through its Mission Centre team led by Kathy Murtha, Scarboro Missions facilitated world religion retreat days for about 5,000 high school students each year. The retreat day included the participation of four to six members of various world faiths, which made the day a powerfully effective learning experience. One of the many goals of the retreat day was to enable the students to get a taste of the spirituality and culture of the various religions. An ideal group size is 40 to 60 students.<\/p>\n
Note \u2014 this model has also proven to be effective with adult audiences.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In its 21 years of operation, the Scarboro Missions Interfaith Office sought to educate and inform teachers and students about interfaith dialogue.
