Interfaith group encourages open religious dialogue

A Christian Scientist, a member of the Ethical Culture movement and a Methodist-Unitarian explained how certainty relates to their faith while a Buddhist moderated their conversation at the Interfaith Action of Central Texas Red Bench discussion last week.

The student division of the University Interfaith Council tries to bring similar dialogue to UT. President Imad Khan has been working to revitalize the group for about three semesters and said up to 100 people attend their monthly programs.

“I think the beauty of American Muslim Voice’s work is that we have brought people together that otherwise would not have come together,” Sundas, who started American Muslim Voice eight years ago, told Voice Of America.
