A brown bag lunch discussion with Imam Khalid Latif (Chaplain & Executive Director at Islamic Center at NYU) and Reverend Mary Catherine Young (NYU Episcopalian Chaplain). The NYU Chaplains explained how they have used religion and interfaith action to build peace. They called on students to define peace personally and realize that love is a seed that requires cultivation and attention. Poignant to the discussion about working with different people was the reminder that our perception of ‘the other’ tells us more about ourselves than them requiring us to be mindful of how our perceptions can affect our work as peacebuilders.
