Dedication of the Interfaith Prayer Space - Part 1

The dedication ceremony of the new Interfaith Prayer Space on the campus of Xavier University on February 18th, 2009. The space is located in Husman Hall, and can be entered from the courtyard on the side facing the Cintas Center. Xavier Interfaith Club members played a key role in the long process of finding and creating the space, even proposing the layout with the new entry and pushing for a running water source. Coincidentally, the same year our work to make a neutral prayer space came to fruition, Rabbi Ingber joined the university leading Interfaith Community Engagement.
