Is anyone else offended by this, or am I being
 oversensitive?

 I have no difficulty with the Christian celebrations
 taking place on campus this upcoming week -- this
 is Holy Week leading into Easter, a major sacred
 time for many Christian denominations, and I think
 there's nothing wrong and perhaps something healthy
 with Christians celebrating, just as there's nothing
 wrong and something healthy with Muslims celebrating
 or pagans celebrating or, to use a secular example,
 with gay pride celebrations.  My own denomination
 celebrates Holy Week, and I find it a personally
 meaningful time.

 However, I have just seen the agenda for the week,
 and it includes a Thursday panel called "Losing My
 Religion" -- which "celebrates" people who have
 become Christian by abandoning another faith!

 To celebrate one's faith seems a perfectly healthy
 activity to me, but to celebrate one's faith at the
 expense of other faiths . . .

 Is anyone else offended by this, or am I being
 oversensitive?

 yours,
 W. Everett Chesnut, Ph.D.
