This past Thursday was Earth Day, and we used this special opportunity to forge new and unlikely bonds of fellowship. Jews, Catholics, Atheists, Episcopalians and Pagans converged at the Presbyterian Student Center to join us for a special Earth Day screening of a documentary called “Dirt! The Movie.” This film uses humor, science, and a very human touch to give audiences the dirt on dirt, and explain how soil is surprisingly central to many of the issues we face as a global community. A rousing interfaith roundtable discussion followed the screening, as students and community members from diverse faith (and non-faith) traditions wrestled together with some of the tough questions this film brought to our attention. Special thanks to third-year Ecology major and PSC regular Calley Mersmann for helping to make this night of interfaith dialogue a smashing success.
