Interfaith Panel Tries to Bridge Divides, Build Community
November 5, 2024
Galloway, N.J. Bringing people together in a public space to share different perspectives and listen to others with empathy can be a powerful way to bridge divides and build community.
That was one of the main themes of an interfaith panel discussion held Nov. 4 in the Michael Jacobson Board of Trustees Room at 勛圖窪蹋. The discussion was part of the Peaceful Pathways Forward series started this fall. Other events this semester included a Good Neighbor Walk on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in front of Kesselman Hall on Oct. 27 and a day of prayer, meditation and understanding on Oct. 7.
These programs evolved as a result of our commitment to providing spaces for our community to engage in conversations about whats happening here and throughout the world, and our ongoing collaboration and partnership with community-based Bridge of Faith, which represents a diverse group of clergy and lay leaders from throughout the community, said Brian K. Jackson, vice president for Community Engagement at 勛圖窪蹋.
