WVII covers multifaith panel discussion
WVII (Channel 7) reported on “Can We Really Coexist: A Multifaith Panel Discussion” that was held on campus as part of University of Maine Diversity Week. Panelists spoke about a range of beliefs to inform and spark discussion, according to the report. “What unites us is way, way bigger than what separates us,” said UMaine graduate student Prosper Ishimwe. The free public event was organized by the Wilson Center. “There are moments where we have beliefs that conflict, or difficult times, and we thought it would be nice tonight to have a panel where we could talk in a deep and thoughtful and caring way about what we do at those moments; how we go forward together,” said Sarah Marx, director of the Wilson Center.
