This week I had the opportunity to go with a few other Institute students to the weekly meeting of the UW Interfaith group, Bridges. The topic of the meeting was the relationship between religion and culture and we discussed things like "Can religion exist without culture?" with about five other people from various religious backgrounds. I was really impressed by the amount of truth that was shared by the students from other faiths, especially the insights of one student on the purpose of religion and faith which he summarized as bringing about a change within ourselves for the better. It was a humbling experience to remember that truth can come from anywhere, not just church-sponsored meetings and activities. I would encourage any interested Institute students to come to the Bridges meetings! They are held on Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:20 in Savery 131.
