Annual Surjit Singh Lecture in Comparative Religious Thought and Culture — Interfaith Youth Core
March 19, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 11:00 pm
| Join us for an evening with Eboo Patel at the Graduate Theological Union on Tuesday, March 19th. The annual Surjit Singh Lecturefosters interreligious and cross-cultural communication and understanding.
Dr. Patel will be the featured speaker this year and will discuss a path forward that keeps faith with the historic identity of seminaries and divinity schools and serves a rapidly changing society characterized by marginalization, tribalism and deep difference. This free event will take place at 7:30pm at Zaytuna College (2401 Le Conte Avenue, Berkeley, CA 94709). A reception will follow in the GTU Richard S. Dinner Boardroom (2400 Ridge Road, 3rd Floor).

| Eboo Patel
Eboo founded Interfaith Youth Core on the idea that religion should be a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. He is inspired to build this bridge by his identity as an American Muslim navigating a highly religiously diverse social landscape. For over fifteen years he has worked with governments, social sector organizations, and college and university campuses to help make interfaith cooperation a social norm. |
