A good first step!

I was content with the service activity, and happy to see so many people there. While the service itself was fine, albeit uncomfortable at points, what I was really pleased with was the dialogue.

I thought the class members in charge of facilitating did a great job of setting people at ease, and then coaxing them towards shared values. I think we all wish we had more time – but I think what was accomplished were good first steps toward developing a body of people committed to interfaith service and dialog.

It is amazing to me how simple an effort like this is: get people together, serve together, talk together - and yet it is so rare. I am excited that the MNSU RSO (student organization) will CONTINUE this work.
