Chapel Service

[wellingtonboots]

I've just gone to university and we have a great chapel. It's really the oldest part of the college and there's regular services every day and a big on sundays. I'm hoping to join the choir as well.

However I find that there's really not much provision for people of other faith like Jews and Muslimsin other unis. As my uni is situated in a really small town all the religious worship goes on inside the uni and the colleges. I suppose there are societies that provide spiritual support for people of faiths other than christianity. I have unfortuately not encounted any professional worship services and many people are trying to find a house of worship. I'm sure there must be some there. It's really upsetting to hear but some people are so dedicated that they feel that they've lapsed with their worship because they've not been able to find somewhere to perform worship properly.

I don't know if it's the uni's fault that's in such a small place. I suppose you can't blame them but they must provide others services.

I think that if there was a group large and active enough that wanted to practice another religion at your university, they would have organized and gotten themselves a worshiping place. As long as the university management doesn't actively restrict religious practices that aren't Christian, they're not really doing anything wrong...

More to the point, why should they? It is not as if there are not plenty of worship places available to all, so why would a campus wish to provide something that probably would not get enough use in the first place?

If one really wishes to join in all the jolities of a church/whatever you call it service, then damn well go out and find it! But face facts, Sunday is not exactly the best time to try to ram religion down the throat of a student, after all, hangovers are more prevalent on a Sunday than any other day of the week!

Slightly off topic, but why do students expect everything to be served up on a plate for them? It is not exactly easy to miss a place of worship (or whatever).

Each to their own and all that, but to moan about lack of religious facilities on a student campus beggars belief! Incidentally, the pub opens at ten o'clock, which always seems by far the better option in the first place!
