University YMCA, 1001 S. Wright St., Champaign
The Illinois Interfaith Conference is a FREE opportunity for University of Illinois students and campus allies- as well as student leaders and professionals from across the Midwest- to join together to engage in critical questions about interfaith engagement on the college campus. All people of religious and non-religious philosophical traditions are welcome!
Many religious, spiritual and secular beliefs highlight the importance of caring for and welcoming others, whether they be neighbors or strangers. Yet religion is sometimes used as the divider to turn away neighbors and ignore the humanity of one another. The Illinois Interfaith Conference will explore how we welcome one another into community together, and the ways that our many faiths, experiences, and identities can bring us closer together. Registration is free.
The Illinois Interfaith Conference is co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Access, Civil Rights & Community, Diversity & Social Justice Education, Illini Hillel, Interfaith in Action, the Department of Religion, Interfaith Alliance of Champaign County, Religious Workers Association, and the University YMCA.
Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Access, Civil Rights & Community, the Chancellor, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, or The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.
