Stetson University has grown from deep religious roots. The Christian commitment in which it was founded

continues to be profound at Stetson, while other religious and spiritual traditions now also enrich campus life.

The University's religious heritage guides its on-going commitment to being an inclusive community that welcomes people of all faiths.

The Religious & Spiritual Life Council challenges people to think critically about the role of religion in society, to learn more about religious and spiritual traditions, and to enhance their own spiritual values and faith commitments.

"I believe in God in spite of God. I believe in mankind in spite of mankind. And, I believe in the future in spite of the past." Elie Wiesel James A. Stewart Lecturer Stetson, March 1996
