“Only as effort is made to draw on insights from His Revelation, to tap into the accumulating knowledge of the human race, to apply His teachings intelligently to the life of humanity, and to consult on the questions that arise will the necessary learning occur and capacity be developed.” (The Universal House of Justice, Ridván Message 2010, para. 25)
Understanding the complex and perpetual process of generating, applying and diffusing knowledge for the betterment of society will be the focus of the presentation. It will draw on the experiences accrued in India through efforts aimed at promotion of public discourse in the areas of equality of men and women, and the complementary role of science and religion in development.
