Episode 29: Exploring the multifaceted role of religion in times of crisis

April 02, 2024 • DialoguePerspectives • Episode 29

Since the recording of this episode our friend and colleague Henri Vogel has passed away. Please find an obituary honouring his memory on our website.

In this episode our hosts Whitney, Henri and Neta-Paulina explore the multifaceted role of religion in times of crisis. They are joint by Professor Dr Frederek Musall, Chair of the Board of Directors of DialoguePerspectives, to discuss how religious institutions and leaders can have a positive impact on crises by fostering resilience and unity. Furthermore, they reflect on the challenges religious actors face in exacerbating or prolonging crises, and the declining influence of religion in some societies.

The conversation touches on how religion can help individuals cope with and resolve crises, and its potential role in addressing complex issues such as climate change. Special thanks to our guest speaker Prof. Dr. Frederek Musall!
