Student Religious Organizations:
These clubs are self-governed, running independently from The Chaplain’s Office (ecept for Soul Friends, Meditation Group,and Interfaith Understanding) . My hope is that, at Cornell College, we learn about each other’s traditions and religious or secular perspectives. That we reach out and care for each other across the divides, including across the religious and political divides within a single tradition, such as Christianity or Islam. Reconciling love, and striving toward understanding and bridge building, are part of your educational experience here at Cornell, helping prepare you for global citizenship and leadership on this incredible, fragile earth.
