当圣. Francis of Assisi entered the hostile camp of Malik-al-Kamil, 埃及苏丹, in the early 1200s during the Fifth Crusade, his initial goal was to convert the sultan to Christianity. Instead, the two men parted with a new respect for each other's faith and culture.
Their meeting is often referred to as the first real dialogue between Christians and Muslims, and the ability of St. Francis to embrace a perceived enemy as his brother is part of the tradition of understanding and acceptance that guides the community
of Franciscans to this day.
We strive to walk in the footprints of St. Francis by cultivating a campuswide environment for celebrating multiculturalism and diversity, and to instill in all our community members an appreciation for the similarities
and differences that we encounter as citizens of the world. It's part of our Franciscan values, part of what it means to be a Franciscan university.
