I love how this article by @NajeebaSyeed emphasizes the role of faith to help with healing and not on blaming any entity for the fires, & her daughter and her friends demonstrated this love for community through practical actions. @SoooMD https://t.co/ZFbMwtrZYW
Even as local faith leaders mourn the loss of their sacred spaces to the California wildfires, they’ve been banding together, offering words of comfort and practical help to those affected.

Welcome to our @AugsburgU Interfaith Scholars 2024-25.They went through a rigorous application process, and were chosen for this leadership cohort and class.They represent over 10 countries including Native American communities, multiple religious,spiritual&secular traditions
and their majors range from science, health sciences, marketing, religion, data sciences, business, social work and more. We’re so proud of then, they are building community projects of care for the whole Augsburg University community.
We’re so proud of our @AugsburgU Interfaith Scholar, Josh Maynard and his friends for serving as election chaplains today! “We are set up at 3 polling sites in the area to provide non-partisan interfaith emotional and spiritual support for voters”, he says
At this fall's Batalden Convocation, Augsburg faculty Iva Patel, Shayna Sheinfeld, and Najeeba Syeed reflected on resources from Hinduism, Judaism, and Islam that support and empower survivors of trauma. It was an honor to come together and discuss these topics in this space.
