Five Western students and 11 professors will visit Seattle this weekend for the International Conference on Unity and Diversity in Religion and Culture, a conference Western is co-sponsoring with eight other universities in the region.

Western senior Kipp Trembley, a general studies major at Western, said he has a personal interest in the notion of unity and diversity in religious groups because he is a pagan practitioner.
"There is a certain fear involved when involved in a fringe movement," he said.
Trembley is a member of the Cedar Grove Druid Fellowship in Bellingham. He said Pagan Druidry is an earth-based faith and the fellowship focuses on services through eco-ministry, or environmental projects.
Trembley said he wrote his paper for the conference on a Druidic perspective of community. As a Druid facing judgment from many people, Trembley said he has a vested interest in communication. He said he is looking forward to discussing many aspects of religion and culture at the conference.
