Matthew Shumaker, one of two missionaries assigned to the student ward in Boulder, remarked, Religion and theology are on people s minds. He has noticed that a lot of personal soul searching takes place at the college age. Of the eight LDS congregations that make up the Boulder Stake, the leading baptizing congregation is that of college students. This illustrates a definite need for a spiritual context in the college community. Shumaker commented accordingly.
Boulder is more spiritual than religious.
