Faith Zone is a workshop that helps you understand and have conversations around world-views, religious traditions, faith practices and meaning-making through interactive learning about yourself, your peers, and your community. Religious and spiritual identities are as important to some of us as our other social identities, like race, gender, and sexuality. It may often seem invisible, especially at Dickinson, because we don't tend to discuss it as openly. However, most of us have experienced our religious and/or spiritual identity in one way or the other, which has helped shape (or is still shaping) the way we make meaning in life. So Faith Zone is a space for us to engage in interfaith discussions and help create a more inclusive climate for people across religious and spiritual backgrounds on campus.
