How many of these religious symbols can you name?

Six round tables and a wide range of spiritual views.

This was the setting at Spring Hill College's Gautrelet Room Sunday, where more than 70 people gathered in a celebration of interreligious friendship sponsored by the college's Center for Interreligious Understanding.

"The idea is getting people to look at each other face to face," said John Switzer, associate professor of theology and director of the center. "People are better able to dismiss one another when they don't realize that the (different) idea comes from a person who's like them."

The center, which just rolled out a new logo, is building upon Mobile's Trialogue, the Mobile Christian-Jewish Dialogue, and the Religious Freedom Walk.

Just keep in your thoughts what the graphic artists had to go through to make those logos

Now I gotta look up the symbol for Rosicrucianism...




To be honest, the second to last one reminded me of the seven-pointed star used by Otherkin (not a religious designation, though)
