ABOUT ENCOUNTERS
Encounters began in 2014 as the IWU Interfaith Journal, a vision of Illinois Wesleyan University alumnus Mark Timmerman '14. Past editions have highlighted personal stories of Multifaith Ambassadors (students employed by the Office of Multifaith Engagement at IWU) and other students, showcasing interfaith events of the year, and sharing artwork.
​
Beginning in Spring 2020, Encounters is going digital with the magazine to host new mediums and engage new voices of interfaith at Illinois Wesleyan and beyond. We hope you enjoy, and consider adding to our collection in the future!
ABOUT THE OFFICE OF MULTIFAITH ENGAGEMENT
The Office of Multifaith Engagement is the home of religious and spiritual life at Illinois Wesleyan. Housed in Evelyn Chapel, our office celebrates and supports the diversity of worldviews present at Illinois Wesleyan - religious, spiritual, and secular. Through multifaith programming, student organizations, and a team of professional and student leaders, we seek to provide a venue for asking meaningful questions - including questions about who we are and what we are for.
​
Our home in Evelyn Chapel is open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. There are always spaces available to study, gather for conversation, or make a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Come visit us anytime!
