ent religious activity has
from one small group or-
3 in 1858 to participation in
tominational groups func-
on campus today.
groups present co-operative,
ipus events under the direc-
the Office of Religious Af-
ut their main concern is to
he students of their faith.
lenomination provides its
s with a well-rounded pro-
f worship, discussion, coun-
and social activity.
Much of the student religious
interest at the University centers
on the intellectual aspects of reli-
gion. Nearly all of the student
groups are concerned with the eli
gious implications of world and
local events.
For example, many of the groups
discussed last fall's events art Little
Rock in the light of their religious
beliefs and came to a better under-
standing of the questions raised by
the whole issue of segregation ver-
sus integration.
As a result of these discussions,
a petition to the University pro-
testing segregation in the dormi-
tories was written by members of
the Congregational and Disciples
Guild and supported by members
of the other religious groups. This
led to the organization of a stu-
dent committee which engaged in
the study of discriminatory prac-
tices at the University and brought
the integration issue to the atten-
tion of the whole campus.
Understanding Broadened
This is only one example of the
activities and discussions with
which members of student reli-
gious organizations are concerned.
Each group tries to broaden its
student's understanding of his
faith, how his beliefs apply to his
daily living and provides him with
the opportunity to discuss and
thus clarify his views on political,
social, economic and religious is-
sues.}
The majority of student reli-
gious groups work closely with the
local adult religious community.
Such groups include the Roger
Williams Guild connected with the
First Baptist Church of Ann Ar-
bor; the Congregational and Dis-
ciples Guild sponsored jointly by
the First Congregational Church
and the Memorial
Church; The Eastern
