Lindsay,
Thank you very much for commenting. I appreciate your feedback!

"I would never have thought to have the presidency of Interfaith not disclose their religious affiliation! That's really what this group is about, isn't it? We're just getting together to have fun and mingle, and even learn a little bit."
I'd like to clarify one thing first. While the leadership of the Interfaith Student Association is planning on not publicizing its affiliation, we encourage all members of the group to openly discuss their religious feeling with the purpose of having fun, mingling, and learning to understand each other.
Our hope is that by having the student leadership be discreet about their own affiliation that it will maintain impartiality and avoid stereotypes and biases against the association as a whole.
Also, we hope to keep it a "safe place" or rather "neutral ground." In a way, we hope that the leadership will act as a "mediator" that will allow greater connection and unity among students of various religions.
That's all I have to say right off the cuff on that topic. Feel free to keep the comments coming!
More to come soon.
I can be reached at president.isa.uvu@gmail.com.

I think this non-disclosure policy is an excellent idea and fundamental to the success of this organization. The leaders' jobs are to facilitate access to anyone and everyone, and to ensure that members of every faith are meeting on equal ground.
