<i>Can</i> Religion <i>and</i> Spirituality <i>Find a Place</i> in Higher Education?

Abstract

Do institutions of higher learning have a part to play in supporting students’ religion and spirituality? If so, how can campuses nourish these aspects of students’ lives without undermining such core values as diversity and religious freedom? The answer, explains the author, lies in embracing religious pluralism—a concept that can help educators see ways to honor the full spectrum of religion and spirituality without giving preference to any one tradition.
