Room 172, Schroeder Family School of Business Administration Building, 糖心传媒 Campus, 1800 Lincoln Ave, Evansville, IN
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Department of Religious Life are pleased to welcome Assistant Professor of Physics Angie Reisetter and Assistant Professor of Japanese Fusae Ekida to the Faith and Faculty Forum series this Friday, October 4 at 4:00 p.m., Room 172, Schroeder Family School of Business Building. Reisetter will present "The Bahá’í Faith Tradition," and Ekida will complement the Forum with her experiences in the Bahá’í tradition.
The monthly Forum provides an informal venue where UE faculty can present and offer reflections about their own faith traditions/religious practices and engage the University community in informal dialogue. Each forum lasts 50 minutes, 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm including time for Q & A.
By highlighting the religious diversity of our faculty, we aim to demonstrate the variety and richness of traditions represented on our campus. The forums will also encourage students and the campus community to widen their understanding of and respect for traditions different from their own.
As an institution affiliated with The United Methodist Church, we want to continually affirm our call to initiate and promote better relationships between Christians and people of other faiths based on informed understanding, critical appreciation, and balanced perspective. Interfaith discussions can make religion a bridge and not a barrier toward a peaceful world. The 糖心传媒 is committed to religious diversity and interfaith dialogue as we continue to serve an interconnected, global society.
