| Frank is a senior music business major at NYU. Frank was the leader of Transform, a Christian arts and media group associated with Campus Crusade for Christ and The International Arts Movement for his first few years at NYU. Last year he founded World Faith, an interfaith service club that he hopes will become a non-profit organization in New York City. Through World Faith, Frank organized a Day of Interfaith Youth Service on NYU’s campus. Frank works as a booking agent for musical artists in New York City and was also the junior class president of his school within NYU. Frank is pursuing an independent research project on Muslim-Christian relations which took him to Egypt and Cyprus last summer. While in Cyprus, he volunteered with the U.S. state department’s evacuation of Lebanese Americans in Nicosia, which he writes, “allowed him to have a first hand demonstration of what the world is like without interfaith interaction.” He writes, “Interfaith signifies more to me than simple coexistence of people of varied religions. The term interfaith invokes inter-religious interaction, social action, creating a coherent community of religious people. This pushes people’s comfort zones by creating a platform where people of different faiths can express concerns that affect humanity as a whole, and a functional inter-religious community allows a movement with a voice to become evident to all.” |
