Initiative on Faith and Practice
The Guilford Initiative on Faith and Practice is a five-year program sponsored by a grant from Lilly Endowment, Inc in the second round of their Programs for the Theological Exploration of Vocation. The initiative seeks to shape a campus environment in which faith and vocation are understood to be central to the educational enterprise at Guilford College. Guilford is experimenting with ways to help students, faculty and staff come into their own deepest Wisdom (what Friends might call Truth, the Inward Teacher or the Light) so that they can better integrate life purpose and commitments with action and direction in the world in service to others.
The Initiative works closely with the Offices of Campus Life, Campus Ministry, Career and Community Learning, Faculty Development and the First Year Program.
