THE BANNERS IN THE CFC were created by the University Religious Conference after an interfaith group of students met and read passages from many faith traditions. Interfaith Inspirations captures the spirit of the students’ discussions. The banners are displayed courtesy of the Interfaith Association which met here last night for a dinner and discussion. The passages illustrate themes of human goodness and the nature of our relationship with the divine and can deepen our appreciation for the humanity of our neighbors.
