Why are you, the founders, starting the group?
The purpose of Interfaith@MIT is to catalyze relationships between religious groups on campus and to invite the MIT community to take notice and take part in activities that reach across cultural, intellectual and religious bounds. Specifically, Interfaith strives towards the following goals:
- Interfaith Catalyst
*: To bring religious or belief groups on campus together, two at a time, to deepen understanding and cultivate respect at both the religious and personal level; to involve the MIT community in casual activities on campus between peoples of different beliefs; to promote interfaith and faith-specific events on campus and encourage attendance from all belief groups.
...
Lastly, we plan on bringing MIT's religious organizations and students together through collaborative community service. We plan on organizing regular projects or service trips to foster fraternity between students of different religions, based on the following idea:
"_From now on, the great religions of the world will no longer declare war on each other, but on the giant ills that afflict \ [humankind\]."_ \ - Charles Bonney, 1893 Parliament of the World’s Religions Wiki Markup
