The Mission of The Ecumenical Center is to provide opportunities
for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay community to explore faith, nurture
the spiritual life, and serve others.
The Center’s vision is to be recognized as a leader in promoting
spiritual development and the values of respect, peace and justice. The Center
welcomes all people and all spiritual perspectives.
It is intrinsic to human nature to
question and seek truth no matter where it may lead. And it is our hope to
provide opportunities that would allow this pursuit of truth to take place.
Regardless of one's background, we believe that each and every one of us has a
desire to explore their relationships with the world and with themselves,
attempting to understand themselves and others, and those profound questions
that often define our lives and who we are as humans. More to the point, we
believe that all people aspire to develop, strengthen and hone their values,
those essential motivators that drive our human experience.
An important question we ask is: What are you willing to stand for?
It is not about your particular
religious path, your heritage, your schooling; rather, it is about you and your
willingness to step up to the plate and embark upon a journey that will help answer this question through exploration and self-discovery. Remember, we
are not human beings on a spiritual path, but spiritual beings on a human path.
