Religious faith is not simply about belief and doctrine, or even morality and ethics. Beneath these elements lies something deeper, something that can generate passion and commitment. These programs will explore how this deeper faith element touches and motivates us in the spiritual, emotional, aesthetic, and social dimensions of our shared religious lives.
