A Religious Treasure Trove at Princeton University
BERKELY PATCH
February 23, 2011
NEW JERSEY -- Last Thursday evening, my husband and I attended "Exploring the Spiritual Dimension: A Night of Forms, Food, and Faith" at the university art museum. It was part of the fifth annual Coming Together Interfaith Conference, which brought student leaders together from across the country to improve interfaith dialogue. The event was organized by Paul Raushenbush, who is both associate dean of Religious Life at Princeton, and editor of The Huffington Post Religion channel, for whom I write. (Qasim Rashid, of the Muslim Writers Guild, reported on the conference there yesterday.) Raushenbush said the goal of the student-led event was to exchange best practices. Surrounded by the museum's sacred and secular art, my husband and I munched free cookies and basked in an evening of sacred performance by a Hindu duo, a Jewish a capella group, a Georgian choir, a solo dancer, and two Muslim readers. Then we took a quick tour of the museum. [link]
