Understanding through action


IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, President Obama and other national leaders issued an open challenge to American colleges and universities to place a special focus on interfaith cooperation and community service. We at Loyola have for some time com- mitted considerable energy and resources to making Loyola a place where all faiths are welcome. I believe this to be an important iteration of our Jesuit identity and the Univer- sity’s mission. But we need to go beyond where we’ve been and what we’ve done.


The crux of the idea behind this push


for more interfaith cooperation lies in the fact that we need to move past talking about differences toward doing things together to better the lives of all people. Can our young people be prepared to work across and within different religious traditions? Will they better appreciate their own tradition if they have experi- ence with individuals from another lived religious faith? Isn’t the welfare of all a common religious aspiration and vision?

how do we deliberately enrich both the classroom and out-of-classroom interfaith experiences? How can we more deliberately bring students together who come from different faith traditions to


work for a common goal? This, we hope, can motivate not just tolerance of those of other faiths, but understanding; and not just understanding, but collaborative action on behalf of the common good. Again, this is very much part of the


Catholic intellectual tradition, and very much in keeping with our mission as an institution. We’re called to work together for the betterment of all. You are aware that, from our inception as an Order dedicated to the service of all, especially through education, the Jesuits realized the importance of action in education. Therefore, from the founding of the first Jesuit college in Messina, Italy, in 1548, the Jesuits knew that the best way to form leaders was to be rigorous in
