Spirituality
Spiritual exploration in a staunchly secular but vividly multi-faith academic community is quite an adventure. Wheaton's support for spiritual inquiry and practice is based on the belief that such activities enhance intellectual development by promoting religious literacy--an essential prerequisite to global citizenship--and by encouraging students to examine (and re-examine) their values and to live those values to the best of their ability.
SSSR builds on the natural tendency of college students to ask complex questions about life and its meaning. Working with the student-run Interfaith Alliance, Hillel, Christian Fellowship, and Zen Meditation Group, SSSR provides opportunities for tradition-specific study and practice, interfaith dialogue and seasonal interfaith worship services, SSSR also encourages the participation of "seekers," that growing number of students who describe themselves as "spiritual, but not religious."
