Representatives from four world religions took part in a panel discussion in the Russell Union Ballroom at Georgia Southern University last week for the annual "Hot Wings and Hot Topics" event, where students and audience members dined on free wings and delved into contemporary and sometimes controversial religious subjects. Rabbi Robert Haas of Congregation Mickve Israel in Savannah represented Judaism; the Rev. Tony Pagliarullo, Statesboro First Baptist Church college minister, represented Christianity from a Baptist viewpoint; Father Douglas Clark of St. Matthew's Roman Catholic Church in Statesboro represented Christianity from a Catholic viewpoint; Nadia Kamal Hemmali Dreid, former president of GSU's Muslim Student Association, represented Islam; and Richmond Hill's Dr. Hugh Adamson, former secretary general of the National Spiritual Assembly of the United Kingdom, represented the Baha'i Faith. The Rev. Francys Johnson, the president of Georgia NAACP, served as moderator for the event.
