Spiritual Engagement & Reliance

Spiritual Engagement

Principia needs and expects every student to join faculty and staff in contributing to the spiritual strength and well-being of our community. Opportunities and proven ways of doing this include:

• Studying the weekly Christian Science Bible Lesson and our Pastor, the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy.
• Praying for the community during three Quiet Time periods each week.*
• Attending chapel services on Sundays and/or Wednesdays.
• Engaging in inclusive Spiritual Life programming that supports individual spiritual discovery and practice.  
• Participation in weekly Faith in Action events.*
• Finding inspiration, comfort, and joy in Hymn Sings
• Use of Christian Science Study Rooms in each house and around campus with spiritual study resources.
• For other ways to contribute to the spiritual strength and well-being of our community, speak with the Director of Spiritual Life Programs.

Spiritual Reliance and Medical Use at Principia

As an educational community, Principia seeks to nurture, support, and inspire spiritual progress and healing among its members. It does not dictate treatment or prescribe conditions for healing; those decisions belong to individuals and their families.
