Religious reps come together in Council
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the university’s Interfaith Council and its activities.
- The paper reported that the council, started in 1993, grew from eight student groups to 24 available seats and was in its 10th year.
- The article says representatives meet almost every Tuesday to set agendas, ask questions, discuss issues and listen across faiths.
- The reporter writes that meetings cover topics such as the afterlife, grief, death and organ donation, while “Open Hands Open Hearts” events include religious presentations and shared meals.
- According to the article, the council volunteers monthly at the Ronald McDonald House and makes lunches for Sandwich Sunday.
- The article adds that Chaplain Sharon Kugler hoped students would leave with “a place of understanding,” rather than a single agreed answer.
