Worship and celebration
However you choose to worship, Earlham offers a welcoming community that’s ready to celebrate alongside you. Join us at College Meeting for Worship on Sundays, join a student-led worship event, or create your own in partnership with the Office of Religious Life.
College Meeting for Worship
The weekly College Meeting for Worship combines quiet worship, readings, music, and a prepared message by a senior student or faculty member. Designed as a semi-programmed Quaker service, each week’s speaker is encouraged to creatively incorporate elements from his or her own religious tradition.
Fall 2022 — Metamorphosis: The Nature of Change
Worship begins at 1:00 PM (EST) In-Person in Stout Meetinghouse beginning August 28, 2022
When have you experienced significant change or transformation? Is there a difference between the two? To what extent do you have control over the process of change? In what ways do you find yourself resisting or embracing transformation? Are there religious or spiritual teachings that help you navigate change?
