Are there more desirable yet unreached states of affairs for the individual or society (i.e. Happiness, fulfillment, knowledge, contentment, prosperity, etc)? If so, what prescriptive philosophies for living can help us improve, or achieve these preferable states?
We've assembled talks from diverse groups including representatives from the world's major religions and atheist groups to answer these basic questions in concise presentations not to exceed 10 minutes. The object? To clearly communicate the position of these groups on these life's greatest questions.
A KOSHER, HALLAL, VEGETARIAN and non-Vegetarian DINNER will be served!

Shades of Gold: Interfaith Dinner
Dorri Ziai, Rahmat Cholas, Hooman Katirai, David Gray
Tue Jan 25, 05-07:00pm, W20-407 Meeting Room
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Riding on the success of last week’s interfaith dinner, we thought we would make a more informal dinner this week based on fun and games. All religions of the world have a golden rule, but are there other commonalities? Can you distinguish writings of one religion from another? Or are the writings of world religions more similar than we think? Work with members of the MIT community and apply your skills in games where it’s to your advantage to work with people from diverse faiths. Meet new people. Learn from one another. Enjoy Dinner!
