Building Community Across Difference
Our interfaith interns actively engage in outreach to shape the environment of the University Ministry Center and its prayer spaces. They create brave spaces where people of different faith, non-faith and cultural backgrounds can listen to one another, build relationships and participate in activities that promote the common good.
Programs have included the interfaith potluck dinner, tours to houses of worship, service trips, dialogues, interfaith prayer services and special community events rooted in the faith traditions of our students. Dominican also works closely with Interfaith America to train student leaders to engage with religious diversity on our campus and beyond. Interfaith America promotes the idea that when students are “equipped with the vision, knowledge and skills to positively engage difference, our religiously diverse democracy can and will flourish.”
