Interfaith Dialogue kicks off this week

Have you ever wondered how people from other faiths and beliefs respond to suffering?

You are invited to attend the President's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge Kick-off event on Thursday [Sept. 4] in the Colvard Student Union. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with an Interfaith Involvement Fair and Social with refreshments and hors d'oeuvres followed by an Interfaith Dialogue from 6-8 p.m.

The Interfaith Dialogue will be led by Jonathan Edelmann, Rani Sullivan, Seth Oppenheimer, Albert Bisson and Chris Dees. The focus of this year’s Interfaith Dialogue is “Serving in times of suffering.”
