Interfaith Living and Learning Community in Foster Walker (1927 Orrington Avenue)
   
Foster-Walker Exterior

The Interfaith Living and Learning Community is located within the Foster Walker Complex.

The purpose of establishing this intentional community is to offer students an extraordinary opportunity to live in a multi-religious environment, to learn about the beliefs and practices of a variety of religious traditions, and to explore more deeply their own understanding of religion and spirituality.  It is an opportunity to discover and appreciate similarities and differences, to come together with others who share common interests and goals.

The Office of the University Chaplains will work closely with the students in the Interfaith Living and Learning Community to develop meaningful opportunities to interact with one another and learn about the rich diversity of religious beliefs and practices in our world.  Programming and event possibilities include:  firesides (with guest presenters from Northwestern and the Chicago area), attending lectures together, shared meals, focused discussions, retreats, community service projects, field trips to local religious centers.
