A panel of local activists spoke on the intersections of faith and service in Arrupe on Monday. Alternative Breaks (AB) ran the panel 19 days before they send 19 service groups on educational trips during spring break.
AB Board Member Viktoria Schumacher was inspired to create the panel by a retreat with the Center for Faith and Justice(CFJ). “One night they hosted an interfaith talk with people of all different religions. Muslim, Catholic, atheist, you name it,” Schumacher said. “It was really impactful to me because it showed me that not only is faith and justice tied together, but faith and service can be as well.”
