RELIGION AS THE SUBJECT OF ACADEMIC INQUIRY

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18).  The overall mission of the ۿ۴ýUniversity Chapel continues to be that of providing for the nurturance of that dimension of human experience variously known as spirituality, faith, or religious orientation, in support of the core values of the institution, and with a view toward the attainment of the highest of human possibilities in our contemporary culture and the world.                                                                                                     

“The ‘saints above’ and the ‘saints below’ all attest to the experience of a Sacred Reality, even in the midst of human pain and suffering, which renders life meaningful, offers hope, and calls forth the highest possibilities of human ingenuity, compassion, commitment, courage, and resilience. 

Indeed, no truly ‘educated’ individual could fully grasp the meaning of human history and culture without discerning the powerful ways in which the great world faiths have impacted the human story, and the quest for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.”
