Encounter World Religions Centre

RELIGION SHAPES

It shapes history, civilizations, your next door neighbours... and perhaps you.

Religious literacy gives us the confidence, skills and awareness to connect with others authentically and with curiosity.

Join Encounter for a wide variety of educational and cultural encounters with the world's religions through informational and experiential learning.

MORE THAN 200,000

people throughout North America have heard, seen and experienced our programs.

SHAWN NEWTON, MINISTER

First Unitarian Church Toronto, ON

...brilliant lectures, visits to a variety of religious communities, and opportunities to see and/or take part in the worship practices of each religion. While I have an undergraduate degree from Harvard in comparative religion, I learned so much more this week than from all those years of studying!

GERMAINE KOVARY

...the excellence, the high caliber of the lectures, and the varied site visits - everything was superb! What a gift to be a student.

LUC BUSSIÈRES, PROFESSOR

Université de Hearst - Timmins, ON

As a university professor, I look for training every year. That week of learning & exploring the world's religions was my best investment in 30 years.
