A multi-faith center for prayer, reflection and interfaith dialogue
During Homecoming weekend, Elon will break ground for a new multi-faith center in the Academic Village adjacent to Phi Beta Kappa Plaza. The Numen Lumen Pavilion will be a place for prayer, meditation and reflection in the heart of campus, respecting the differing customs of students’ religious and spiritual traditions. The multi-faith center will encourage a robust dialogue about religion on campus, exploring what unites us in our common humanity and promoting the values served by deeper interfaith collaboration.
The Numen Lumen Pavilion will house the staff of the Vera Richardson Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life and provide space to support scholarly activity, interdisciplinary seminars and distinguished visiting faculty. A large multi-purpose room and kitchen will provide student organizations with space for weekly observances, and programs and meals. The new multi-faith center will be a resource that will allow Elon to contribute to creating peace and global understanding.
