Interfaith

Megan O’Brien On Tuesday, March 15th I went to one of the interfaith dialogue meetings. It was held in the basement of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The topic for our discussion was faith as a daily practice. When I first walked in I realized it wasn’t as big of a group that I was expecting. When I got there I noticed how welcoming everyone was to have us there. I was even asked a couple times if I was a part of your religions class! After getting to talk to everyone we sat down and prayed…

religious divides. Debate.org held a poll titled, ‘Does religion divide the world?’ the end vote was 79% yes, and only 21% no. For the most part, people will only vote that religion does divide the world if they have personal or secondhand experiences interfaith divides. Further examples can come from the religion I am most familiar with, Mormonism. Mormons were chased out of their homes, based on their religious practices. They had to travel across America to desolate land in order to live in…

Totalitarian faith-based ideologies create social divisions that hinder the formation of a diverse interfaith community identity. Faith can create social divisions when it forcibly infringes on the lives…

Judaism convictions passing is not an end of life, but rather a start of another and better life. Hashem is outside human ability to comprehend of psyche and no human activity or characteristics can be identified with him. The greatest prophet was Moses and no other prophet can come later and change his words. The "Saviour" has not yet come. Jesus has no spot in Orthodox Judaism. Truly spoken, Judaism convictions in the great beyond plays a noteworthy part in the life of an Orthodox Jew. One…

I am the only member of my family born in the United States. My parents, brother, and sister immigrated after the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, where thousands were murdered as India descended into nationalistic bloodshed. My own father nearly died: he was pulled off a train by an armed mob, beaten unconscious, and left for dead on the tracks. Shortly thereafter, he gathered everything he had and brought his family to Iowa City. That violence left scars on my father’s body, and it lit a fire in my…
