|
FROSTBURG ? Frostburg State?s United Campus Ministry received the 2004-2005 award for Outstanding Cultural Programming Efforts at the close of the school year.
The Rev. Larry Neumark, UCM?s Protestant chaplain, accepted the award, which acknowledged a unique campus/community event entitled, 'Jews, Christians and Muslims: Cooperation or Confrontation?' Imam Yahya Hendi, Muslim chaplain from Georgetown University, spoke before a large crowd of students and community residents at the Palace Theatre in Frostburg.
'We like to believe that this kind of program can foster an increase in tolerance and a decrease in stereotypes in our frequently fragmented world. We try to make a difference,' Neumark said.
United Campus Ministry has been recognized by the university on several other occasions, including naming it 'Religious Organization of the Year.'
