Deacon Robert Henrey: How the West came to Encounter the East
May 12, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Deacon Robert Henrey presents a new 4-part Spring series via Zoom: How the West came to Encounter the East
In his latest series of illustrated presentations, Robert’s goal is to share his interest in Asian cultures, their histories, religious traditions and languages – an interest stimulated thanks to several years living and working in South East Asia and to ongoing opportunities for professional contacts, travel and study. He describes the process whereby adventurers, traders and scholarly missionaries brought back home a growing awareness of the richness they had encountered.
Each session is designed to stimulate discussion.
May 12 – Part Two: India prior to the Arrival of the Portuguese
May 26 – Part Three: The Portuguese Century of Discovery
June 2 – Part Four: The Rise and Fall of the Mughals and how rival Europeans stepped into the void
