The Devoutness of You [hand drawing of reflection in mirror] Caught up in the college whirl, you may lose sight of some values and traditions of your pre-SUI days. One of the most important and rewarding phases of your pre-SUI life should stay with you here too - your religious activity. Iowa City can rightly be called an interdenominational center, with more than twenty different church groups active in or around the campus. You'll be a welcome addition to any of them; you can meet others of your faith and renew your religious training at their regular meetings. Among the student religious groups available at SUI are: Canterbury Club (Episcopal); Christian Science Society; Disciples Student Fellowship (Christian); Friends Meeting (Quaker); Gamma Delta (Lutheran Missouri Synod); Hillel Foundation (Jewish Student Center); Iowa Christian Fellowship (Interdenominational); Kappa Phu (Methodist sorority); Latter Day Saints; Lutheran Student Association; Nazarene Young People's Society; Newman Club (Catholic); Roger Williams Fellowship (Baptist); United Students Fellowship ( Congregational and Evangelical Reformed); Wesley Foundation (Methodist); and Westminster Fellowship (Presbyterian). A Student Christian Council has been formed by the Protestant groups each of which has two representatives. This Council integrates specific activities of the various groups. Religion in Life Week is sponsored annually by the Inter-Religious Council. The Council includes members of all campus religious groups, and these representatives plan the non-denominational week. During this week, the role of religion in everyday life is emphasized by discussions in campus housing units, lectures and panels, and the World Day of Prayer services. Your continuing participation in a religious group will lend deeper meaning to your other activities and provide still another facet to your development at SUI. 16
