Open Hands Open Hearts: Event Explores Diverse Faith
Traditions
Open Hands Open Hearts is a celebration of religion
and spirituality that takes place each year on the Homewood
campus. The program — a collaborative effort of the
Interfaith Council, Campus Ministries and student
representatives from a variety of Hopkins faith
organizations — allows for open discussion to raise
awareness of matters concerning faith, in both the local
and global arenas, and pursues a broad range of issues
facing faith communities in the modern era.
The following events are open to students, faculty and
staff and will take place at the Bunting-Meyerhoff
Interfaith and Community Service Center unless otherwise
