New Article on Catholic-Sikh Dialogue

Peter Admirand has published a new article in Sikh Formations, titled:

"Catholic-Sikh Dialogue and the Importance of Guru Nanak." 

 

It is one of the first peer-reviewed articles in the field.

 

ABSTRACT

In this article, I first address the call for Catholics to participate in interreligious dialogue and note the absence of Sikhi in most Vatican documents prior to recent times. I then trace recent Catholic-Sikh dialogues or papal tweets about Sikhi or the inclusion of Sikhs at interfaith events. I also argue why Sikh individuals, communities, and institutions should engage in this specific form of interreligious dialogue with Catholic Christians.

I then present how I envision Guru Nanak as an early religious exemplar of both interfaith dialogue and embracing religious pluralism and how this example and advocacy can be a boon both for Christians and for Catholic-Sikh dialogue more specifically.
