Become a Friend or Supporter of the Boniuk Center
Transform the World. It is within your power. We are working everyday to build a culture in which peaceful coexistence is possible. Please join us. You can make a difference.
The Boniuk Center co-sponsors events that foster understanding and respect across the boundaries of religion. We are particularly eager to support events that will draw a diverse audience and that are co-sponsored by organizations representing different religious communities.
Because discussions of religion, religious difference, and tolerance provoke strong feelings and heated debate, the Center will work with community partners to create a hospitable atmosphere so that all people, especially those who disagree with the program or speaker, feel welcome and invited to participate. Facing up to our differences is the first step towards peaceful co-existence.
Opinions expressed by speakers sponsored or so-sponsored by the Boniuk Center do not necessarily represent the views of the Center, its staff, or of Rice University.
