The Daily Bruin

The university community is invited to join professor Paul Anderson and student Anastasia Reinhardt as they lead Contemplative Worship (or, unprogrammed worship after the manner of Friends) on Thursdays in Hoover 250. The gathering will meet each Thursday this semester from 10:50 to 11:40 a.m., and all are welcome.

The first five experiences will count for chapel elective credit if students desire. Our hope is that students develop spiritual sensitivity to the light of Christ within.
