Todays guest post is by Rachel Hartman, Student Government Association’s Vice President of Student Services. She gives a few thoughts about why her faith calls her to engage in interfaith work. Rachel will be gleefully joining us on November 11 for the What IF…? Speak in to learn about ways people from different backgrounds can work together to solve social issues.
Rachel at Spiritual Life Council's Earth Day Celebration last April!
I was raised in a way that taught very strongly that “this is the right way, the only way, and the best way”. As I have progressed through my education, I’ve started thinking that if there is a God of love, He wouldn’t just love one group of people.
Why would He love Baptists more than He loves Catholics, more than He loves Hindus?
To me, a God of love loves everyone He has created and as long as you are actively pursuing a significant meaningful relationship, that should be enough!
To me, that is what Interfaith is about; acknowledging and celebrating the pursuit of a relationship.
