The Butler University Seminar on Religion and Global Affairs is a program that promotes understanding of interfaith and intercultural relations through the discussion of religious issues in global perspectives.
A New View Film Series journeys outside everyday life to explore new world views through film screenings and discussions with the audience.
The CFV is in partnership and collaboration with various faith-based organizations in the Indianapolis area, which assist with developing and creating interfaith opportunities for Butler students.
We believe people from diverse faith background can dialogue, participate, and engage authentically. However, prayer, worship, and other spiritual practices may be challenging to do with integrity and authenticity in interfaith settings. For this reason, the CFV works to design “multifaith” services where various traditions are represented and shared into a space of diverse audiences who have the option to participate or observe as they choose. This is the approach for the Multifaith Prayer Service during Welcome Week and the Multifaith Baccalaureate Service prior to Commencement.
A time to welcome new and returning students, the Center for Faith and Vocation’s Multifaith Service offers prayers and readings by ordained clergy and student leaders from a variety of faith traditions.
