An Institute to Promote Interreligious Leadership
Situated in a neighborhood home to numerous immigrant communities and with an increasingly diverse student body, Augsburg University is uniquely positioned to facilitate building bridges in a polarized world through interreligious communication, understanding and relationships. Because we are shaped by the faith and values of the Lutheran Church, Augsburg is committed to religious diversity being a constructive force serving the common good.
WHAT IS INTERFAITH SCHOLARS?
Interfaith Scholars is a group of students interested in exploring the religious diversity of the Augsburg student body, the wider Twin Cities community, and the United States through interreligious dialogue and action.
