WELCOME!

In 1993, the Wellesley College community was introduced to an exciting new model of religious and spiritual life. Seeking to respond to the rich diversity of religious traditions and spirtual practices represented among community members, the college created a multi-faith program through the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life.

Inspired by Wellesley's historic belief that education is a spiritual as well as an intellectual journey, this program centers around a vision in which all particular expressions of faith are celebrated and in which dialogue about common moral, ethical and spiritual issues is encouraged. The Religious Life Program is coordinated by the Dean of Religious and Spiritual Life and led by the Religious Life Team and the Multi-faith Student Council.

The Office of Religious and Spiritual Life now strives to support the spiritual, educational and worship needs of all Wellesley students. Support and celebration for people of Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian (Orthodox, Protestant, Roman Catholic), Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Native African, Native American, Pagan, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist, Zoroastrian and other religious traditions is offered through the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life. Support for the spiritual journeys of students, faculty and staff both within and outside of institutional religious contexts is offered through a series of programs on moral, ethical and spiritual issues. In addition, all college community members are invited to discover the common spiritual threads which bind us together as one people through a series of multi-faith educational programs and community worship opportunities.
