===Article II - Purpose===
:: InterFaith was formed to bring together the different religion/spiritual-related groups on campus so that they may interact with, empathize with, and reduce possible misunderstanding between one another. InterFaith seeks to help the campus engage both the broad public realm and community life by highlighting the very personal beliefs of the multitude of the campus and providing spaces for students to engage and embrace such beliefs. InterFaith also serves as a coalition of groups that can educate the remainder of the campus on the differences and similarities between the groups; through different meetings and events, IF will instigate discussions and learning experiences readily available for people who might not have encountered any or all other faiths on campus. Finally, InterFaith will serve as greater support for the religions/spiritual-related groups on campus, providing more student voice should the need arise.
