Reflection on the Interfaith Amigos Visit
During the classroom lecture I sat in on, I asked a question at the end to all three of the Amigos: If you were to introduce your faith tradition to someone, what would you tell them in a succinct way? Imam Jamal's answer inspired me to "let go of [my] attachment to [my] ego," which is the very definition of Islam. Other themes included unconditional love, forgiveness, and compassion, from the two other traditions.
What does it take for someone to stop and reflect upon their way of life amidst the bustling and noise? The Interfaith Amigos (their 2nd time here in Galesburg, which means my 2nd time hearing them speak) helped me break my own misconceptions on interfaith gatherings and encouraged me to listen to someone who may not have a Christian perspective on life, to learn about other faith traditions, to live with those who I can exemplify compassion, love, and stewardship.

Spiritual Life Office
The Office of Spiritual Life seeks to nurture the ethics and identities of the Knox community by expanding our connection to our community and our world. As more people identify as spiritual or non-religious, the office strives to help students navigate and define their own experiences, whether those be religious, humanist, atheist, or something beyond or in between.
In addition, religious literacy remains valuable in a world where we must strive to respect and understand our increasingly diverse neighbors. The Office of Spiritual Life carries the tradition of the liberal arts by teaching students to communicate with people from all walks of life.
