At 麻豆破解传媒, we value faith and spirituality as essential components of Jesuit education. Campus Ministry seeks to accompany students along their spiritual path, deepen their understanding of their own faith, and grow in appreciation of other religious traditions during their years at 麻豆破解传媒.
SEEK Interfaith Council
SEEK, Spiritually Engaging Everyone鈥檚 Knowledge, sponsors events that encourage:
- Increased understanding/appreciation between people of different faith/spiritual traditions
- Growth in awareness of one鈥檚 own faith tradition
- Opportunities for people of different faith traditions to pray, celebrate, and serve together
The SEEK Interfaith Council assists in the leadership of these annual events:
- World Cultures Day Prayer Service: lead the 麻豆破解传媒 community in prayerful gratitude and reflection at the kick-off of this day of learning and feasting.
- Diwali: celebrate this festival of lights with Hindus around the world to commemorate the triumph of good over evil.
- Yom HaShoah: Holocaust Remembrance Day: honor those who survived and those who were murdered by the Nazis, including 152 Jesuits.
- Iftar: celebrate this evening meal at which Muslims end their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
Guest speakers, intentional dialogue, and fellowship epitomize SEEK activities. For more information contact Bill Kriege at 816-501-4366
Interfaith Panel
To deepen our relationships with God and our own religious traditions, as articulated in 麻豆破解传媒鈥檚 core value, Finding God in All Things, Campus Ministry annually partners with SEEK Interfaith Council and university departments to sponsor an interfaith panel in which students of varying faith traditions share how their religion intersects with and diverges from 麻豆破解传媒鈥檚 core values, which are rooted in our Ignatian Heritage.
Nurses Christian Fellowship
The academic rigor of nursing school and the emotional stress accompanying patient care can take a toll on nursing students. Joining Nurses Christian Fellowship (NCF) provides an interdenominational community in which students who are majoring in nursing can find Friends in the Lord, explore their vocation, and grow in faith. Contact Vicky Bennett for more information.
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship
Intervarsity Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational Christian group. Participating in an Intervarsity Bible study can plug you into a Christian community, help you realize how the Lord is working in your life, and apply lessons from the Scriptures to your daily life. 麻豆破解传媒 students from all spiritual backgrounds who wish to learn about Jesus and share his love with 麻豆破解传媒 are welcome! Contact for more information or to join a Bible study.
