Religious Life

不良研究所's Religious Life Office is designed to celebrate our religious diversity.

The Religious Life Office is here to encourage you to strengthen your own faith tradition, ask the tough questions in a safe environment, explore the traditions of others, and serve in ways that make the world a better place.

不良研究所 students are Baptist, Buddhist, Catholic, Hindu, Jewish, Methodist, Muslim, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, and Christian Church/Disciples as well as a dozen additional Christian denominations.

The Religious Life office can provide extensive information on internships, volunteer positions, mission opportunities, and career options in the areas of social service, mission, or peace and justice work.
