"We would like UNC to be thought of for more than religious tolerance, but cooperation also," she said.
Lee is secretary of the Bahais of UNC, a group of members of the Bahai faith. The group is in the midst of hosting a series of meetings to promote religious tolerance.
"We want to get people from different religious backgrounds to share their experiences," Lee said.
She explained that the ideas for these meetings spawned from UNC's summer reading assignment, "Approaching the Qur'an," which contained excerpts from the holy book of the Islamic religion.
Members of all religions were invited to three series of meetings in which participants will discuss the different aspects of religion.
Even though the meetings are hosted by the Bahais of UNC, the group maintains that the meetings are religiously neutral.
"This is a workshop of worship," said junior Victor Ahdieh, co-chairman of the Bahais of UNC. "We are in no way trying to impress our beliefs (on anyone)."
The interfaith meetings have been held Monday through Wednesday nights for the past two weeks. A final week of meetings will take place next week, Monday through Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. in Dey Hall.
Bahai is a religion that supports all religions, said sophomore Renee Cloer. She explained that the Bahai religion originated in 17th century Persia and that it teaches respect toward other religions.
