Western students to attend United Nations conference on Religion
Western students to attend United Nations conference

By Melanie Valm
January 25, 2005

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.
