The public is invited to Marymount University\u0092s Annual Interfaith Forum from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6 in Gerard Phelan Dining Hall. This year\u0092s free program, \u0093Faith in Action: Responding to Refugees,\u0094 begins at 12:15 p.m. and features guest speakers from Islamic Relief USA, Catholic Charities and HIAS (the Jewish community\u0092s refugee organization).<\/p>\n

Lunch tickets will be provided for commuter students and the public.<\/p>\n

\u0093We picked this theme because of the tragedies that are happening in Syria and elsewhere,\u0094 said Dr. Kathleen Garces-Foley<\/a>, an associate professor of theology and religious studies. \u0093I don\u0092t think people realize how many countries are affected.\u0094<\/p>\n

Garces-Foley added that Marymount has a very diverse student body that includes a large number of international students.<\/p>\n

\u0093This isn\u0092t an abstract problem for many of our people,\u0094 she said. \u0093They have family members who have been refugees or know people who have been refugees.\u0094<\/p>\n

Organizers also wanted to bring attention to the problems facing refugees and the principles that inspire the work of these faith-based nonprofits.<\/p>\n

\u0093The refugee crisis is a problem that many religious communities are working with,\u0094 Garces-Foley said. \u0093During the panel discussion, we\u0092ll get at some of the commonalities between these three religions.\u0094<\/p>\n

The event is sponsored by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Campus Ministry Association and International Student Services. For more information, contact Garces-Foley by\u00a0email<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
