Eboo Patel and his team from Interfaith America will work with the University of Utah on an array of interfaith consulting activities across the university and state.
SALT LAKE CITY — Early in his college experience, Eboo Patel slipped into the role of "angry activist" at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
"There was a Catholic Worker House of hospitality in my town, a little town of Champaign Urbana, and I went there," he said. Instead of seeking to change people's lives through confrontation, they were "building a community based on God's love. That's my initial window into religion and social justice," he said.
He continued, "A more beautiful social order is made up of institutions. It's made up of hospitals, universities, Little Leagues and park districts and swimming clubs. It's made up of institutions, and you have to build better institutions. I think we should, but that's work. That's not just getting in somebody's face and telling them what they're doing wrong."
Patel and his team from Interfaith America will work with University of Utah Vice President for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Mary Ann Villarreal on an array of interfaith consulting activities across the university and state.
