Gather: Progressive Christians

Gather is a community of progressive Christians and friends – non-Christian and Christian alike – grounded in tradition but hoping to break cycles of oppression and injustice by promoting the values of compassion, justice, mercy, tolerance, and radical inclusivity as Jesus taught. Our goal is to explore multiple expressions of faith in community by holding student-led worship services; providing opportunities for personal reflection, service, and activism; and facilitating discussions of modern Christian life, social issues, and more.

FFW 2017: Ecumenical Christian Double-Bonus Coffee Hour

Stop by the Scott Center for hot and cold beverages, and a variety of scrumptious treats. Meet Chaplain Laurie Jordan, Dean Mark Orten, and a spectrum of Christian students to learn about religious life on campus. Why “double bonus”? Because you can come to Coffee Hour for any length of time during 2 hours and we will have way more than just coffee!

Children in the Holocaust movie screening

Co-produced by Roman Kent and narrated by Liv Ullman, Children in the Holocaust is an examination of the plight of Jewish children in the Holocaust, from the viewpoint of those children – now adults – who survived. The survivors tell of groups of terrified children being caught smuggling food into the Warsaw Ghetto, the intense anti-Semitic air that permeated pre-war Eastern Europe, and most painful of all, their experiences in the concentration camps.
