The Center for Interfaith and Spiritual Life hosted Interfaith Week 2025 from Nov. 2-8 featuring a robust schedule of more than 40 programs. From spiritual and cultural practices, art and meditation workshops, and a pet blessing to the annual Interfaith Dinner, Interfaith Week offered many opportunities for meaningful engagement.
Following the theme "The ties that connect us: woven from many threads, stronger together," the week-long celebration aimed to spark dialogue, collaboration and mutual respect among George Washington University community members of all religious, non-religious and spiritual backgrounds.
This year's diverse programming was planned in collaboration with members across GW's community, including those who submitted program proposals, student organizations, campus partners, the GW Council of Chaplains and Interfaith Student Advisory Board.
GW Today photographers William Atkins, Sarah Hochstein and Florence Shen captured highlights from the week of activities:
