Students, faculty, and staff care for one another in all aspects of life together, while sharing experiences of worship, spiritual and intellectual life, and social concern. Dialogues continue on topics of importance to the community, including how to become more inclusive and sensitive to the issues of our time. Community life is nurtured through experiences in the classroom, sharing over meals in the Broken Loaf, and impromptu discussions. Programs provided by a variety of organizations add to the community life, creating opportunities for involvement by all members of the community. As an intentional time set aside for the gathering of the Claremont School of Theology community, worship is integral to the expression of the School's Christian identity.
Worship is a reflection of the unity and plurality of our community.
Liturgical and musical contributions of our diverse groups enrich this unifying experience. Morning Prayer is held each morning that School is in session, in the Prayer Chapel, located in the Butler Ecumenical Building. During the day the Prayer Chapel and the Biblical Meditation Garden are available for prayer. Special worship events are planned to celebrate the seasons of the church year. Spiritual Growth Groups are a requirement in the Master of Divinity program, and students in other degree programs are invited to take part if they wish.
