We would like to announce a new event by FID: “Exploring Faiths and Cultures.” Exploring Faiths and Cultures is a seminar series that is being held once each month and open to anyone who is interested in learning about different faiths and cultures. We plan to get together for about 30 min and listen to a representative of a religion/culture, which will be followed by a question and answer session. We believe that this will be a perfect opportunity for all of us not only to socialize with different people but also to ask questions that we haven’t been able to ask anybody.
In this first event of the series, the topic was Catholicism. Father Nathan Castle, the Director of All Saints Catholic Newman Center, briefly presented the Catholic denomination of Christian faith. He explained the foundations, and mentioned the importance of inter-religious activities in the Catholic tradition. After that half-hour informative speech, the question answer session was also reflected the enthusiasm of the audience about learning Catholicism. Additionaly, Dr. Paul Eppinger, the Executive Director of Arizona Interfaith Movement (AIM), was one of the participants, and announced upcoming interfaith dialogue activities of AIM.
