Family Weekend Multi-faith Service

A multi-faith exploration of the sounds that connect us to the  Divine

Despite  the religious and spiritual diversity of the Williams  community – and of the  human family – opportunities to pray and  reflect together, side by side, in the  midst of our differences, are  few and far between.

Each fall during Family Weekend, the  Chaplains’ Office  produces a multi-faith experience of worship and reflection  that brings  together students and pieces of tradition from all across the   beautiful spiritual spectrum of our community.

This year’s service offers an opportunity  to  listen to the sounds by which many of the world’s religious and  spiritual  traditions are connected to the Divine.   We’ll listen with  respect and reverence to voices of faith which are an  essential part of  the voice of Williams: chant, drumming, dance, choral harmony,  and  recitation.

Parents and students, friends and family,  of any tradition or no tradition, are most welcome.

Participants include:

The Williams College  Chamber Choir;  Williams Catholic Music Ministry;  Gospel Choir; Dance Dhamaka; and  student  members of Kusika, the Jewish Association, the Muslim Student  Union, and others.

All are welcome.
