‘Care in a Wounded and Wounding World: Interreligious and Intercultural Practices’

In our earnest desire as care providers to understand the woundedness in the world in which we live and our practice of care in inter-faith and intercultural societies, we run the risk of losing sight of how we also contribute in multiple ways to the woundedness in which we live. That means that we need deep search for our being (roots), belonging (personal and collective identities), and becoming reflective practitioners who remain open to self-transformation to face the challenges in today’s wounding and wounded world.
