Reflection Questions
Welcome to the Wisdom of the World - Joan Chittister

Chapters 21through 25

    In each religious tradition we read about for today, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam:

• What stands out for me?

• Has anything surprised me?

It is said that our own faith deepens as we expand our knowledge and acceptance of other religious traditions.  Is this my experience?

• Have I grown?  In what ways?

• Have I been challenged?  How?

• Have I been disturbed?  By what?

As a result of our exploration of non-Christian traditions, am I drawn to explore any or all more deeply?

If so, how would this help me as I continue my own journey with and to God?  to my fellow faith companions?  to all of humanity? 

If I am not drawn to study religious traditions other than my own, do I have any concerns and anxieties about doing so?  What are they?
