FELLOWSHIP IN RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE

Abstract

"Religions of the world are experiencing today a greater openness and are steadily moving from their self-centred identity to a broader vision; mutual co-operation and healthy complement. arity", said Dr. T.A. Aykara, in his orientation talk at the inaugural meeting of "Fellowship in Religious Experience" (FIRE), organized by the Centre for the Study of World Religions (CSWR), Bangalore on August 6, 1978. Instead of approaching each other for a mutual deeper. understanding, religions" in the past, shut themselves in their own traditions, customs and thought-patterns. Now people are more. and more coming to realize that religion becomes authentic and. healthy only when it has an open mind in its approach ,to other religious traditions.
