The Devil is in the Details
When it comes to religious literacy, there can be a lot to think about. And while we may be committed to creating welcoming places centred on inclusion, a lack of important information can trip us up.
Brian is the Executive Director of Encounter World Religions. His career started in strategy consulting and venture capital before he discovered a passion for learning about the fascinating world of religion. For twenty years, he has studied numerous traditions, fostered relationships with religious leaders and communities, and taken thousands of people annually to places of worship. In addition to this experiential education, Brian has a Ph.D. in religion and politics from the University of Toronto. Given his deep familiarity with ethno-religious communities, Brian has been invited to speak in a range of work environments, from health care and education to policing in both Canada and the USA. He speaks on religious diversity, on our misunderstandings regarding religion, and offers Beyond Diversity talks that actually educate staff about different traditions to create religious literacy in the workplace and make religiously committed employees feel seen and valued.
