Housing & Residence Life


April
Sunday, April 1st
11:00am
  • Location: Bowling Green Unitarian Universalist Center
  • Time: 11:00am

The purpose of this program is to foster religious understanding and acceptance between many varieties of different faiths. Over the coming weeks we plan to escort students to a number of different presentations and/or services to allow them to experience firsthand the differences (and even similarities) between divisions of faith which can be found right here in Bowling Green.  We will then invite students for a “tea and coffee” discussion with select religious leaders, immediately following the services/presentations. These discussions will allow students to talk about aspects of the exposed faith which may be similar or different to their own, as well as how they felt about attending the service or presentation.

Join us for our after-service discussion at the Housing and Residence Life Department, conference room 12 where coffee, tea, and doughnuts will be provided.
