Nearly half of all Americans have changed religious affiliation during their lifetimes. What is it about our various faiths that cause some people to leave them and others to join? What elements of our religious traditions make us uncomfortable, even when we stay? In this series of panel discussions, Nexus will invite members of different faiths to reflect on questions such as:
• What attracts newcomers to my faith?
• What causes newcomers to struggle or question their decision?
• What do I most struggle with? Are there skeletons in my own faith closet?
• Why did I leave one faith tradition and join another?
Each program will explore these questions for a different faith tradition:
October 20, 2008: Hinduism
November 17, 2008: Buddhism
February 9, 2009: Judaism
March 9, 2009: Christianity
March 30, 2009: Islam
All programs are presented 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. in Boyd Dining Center.
