NUS Interfaith Society Details
|| Who are we? ||We are a group of individuals from a mix of various religious and non-religious backgrounds. Our members, in the past & present, have come from diverse faith backgrounds as well as those who are free-thinkers and atheists. We welcome everyone to our community as we hope that through open dialogue, we will be able to understand one another. Our aim is to create a safe space for us to hear one another out and to empathise with our lived experiences - the ways our beliefs influence us and the complexities and significance of our various belief systems.|| What do we do? ||We organise dialogues about our various beliefs; religious, cultural and societal.Some highlights of AY20/21: "Privilege and Intersectionality" as well as a collaborative dialogue "Voices of N(US) - A Journey towards Inclusion" hosted together with the Inclusive Campus Project.We also conduct bi-weekly member's chill night sessions where Interfaith members are able to create and facilitate the session based on their personal topics of interest. In these events, a safe space is created for members to share their personal stories and thoughts related to their faith and beliefs, as well as to give them the opportunity to ask questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking in another setting.|| Why do we do it? ||Different people have different personal reasons for joining such a group. However, we all share the belief that there is a need for respect and understanding among people of different faiths and beliefs.We believe that engagement and dialogue is the key to foster greater understanding among our diverse groups. Understanding is a key component of empathising with one another. That is why we focus on having dialogues above all.This is particularly important as, in the world today, it is not very often that we are able to engage in meaningful dialogue about our beliefs, complex as they are.
