Our mission
The °®¶¹´«Ã½ Interfaith Council (BUIC) is composed of various religious institutions and organizations from around the greater °®¶¹´«Ã½ area that have committed themselves to serving the religious and spiritual needs of the University community. BUIC includes campus ministers/faith leaders as well as established Student Association (SA) chartered faith-based clubs. The members of BUIC pledge to respect the diversity of religious experience while maintaining the integrity of beliefs.
Our main purposes are to:
- serve as spiritual counselors for students and provide services and resources to faculty and staff
- provide a venue for discussion across lines of faith and belief practices
- foster a greater appreciation of the many faith groups represented at °®¶¹´«Ã½ and in the world
- facilitate interfaith dialogue
- help students connect to faith communities if they desire
