Of Religious Emphasis
Religious Emphasis Week, No
vember 8-15, will be observed at
Salem College. The theme of this
year’s Religious Emphasis Week is
“You in the Crisis Today.”
Religious Emphasis Week is held
each year by the Y as a time set
aside to emphasize and evaluate
our religious concerns as indi
viduals and as collective members
of Salem College. We come to
college in order to grow and ex
pand our knowledge and yet so
often we are prone to nurture our
intellectual and social knowledge
and entirely neglect our spiritual
knowledge. Because of this fact.
Religious Emphasis Week aims at
providing a time for serious ques
tioning, possible doubting and per
sonal evaluation of our religious
beliefs and values.
