Spiritual Emphasis Week, sponsored by various campus ministry groups, took place March 12 through 18.

This year’s theme, “Go, Do.” will focus on the project Feed My Starving Children, a grassroots effort to provide nourishment to malnourished infants and children.

“Pastor Trachte and I have been part of the planning and will be at as many of the events as possible,” Ramona Bouzard, campus pastor, said. “P.T., along with a group of students and staff, has headed up the Feed My Starving Children pack and has gone out with students to talk to community and church groups.

Naiya Panchal said even non-Christian students could learn from Spiritual Emphasis week.

“Being an individual of the Hindu faith, I do feel that it would give me a chance to get to learn more about my fellow students,” she said. “It gives me a great opportunity to learn more about different perspectives my peers hold and the ways in which they are inclined to carry through with their spiritual beliefs.”

Other events complete lineup
Spiritual Emphasis Week included several events to incorporate the education and discussion of spirituality other than Christianity, such as an International Christianity Panel and the Slife lecture on Islamic Mysticism.

On Tuesday, Spiritual Emphasis week concluded with a convocation featuring author Greg Mortenson.

Mortenson will give a lecture and answer questions on his experience in Pakistan and the writing of his book, “Three Cups of Tea.”
