The Interfaith Club sponsored an assembly on Wednesday Feb. 19 to discuss peace between different religions. Prominent figures from six religions composed a panel who answered questions regarding peace in their individual faith traditions.

Rabbi Rebecca Reice represented Judaism;  Sister Audrey Doetzel, Catholicism; Dr. Farrah Zaery, Zoroastrianism; Bilal Muhammed, Islam;  Ram Shetty, Hinduism and Rev. Christy Dorn, Episcopalianism.

After the panelists introduced themselves and answered a few initial questions, the floor was opened to students for questioning.

Interfaith Club President Zoya Khan and Vice President Neda Awad organized the event with the help of sponsors Penny Selle and April Schendel.  Schendel said she loves that girls get to see the big picture in relation to religions  coming together as a community.

“My favorite quote from the assembly was ‘We don’t have to see eye to eye to stand shoulder to shoulder,” Schendel said.
