SMU created the Center for Faith and Learning to promote greater integration of intellectual and spiritual life, both on campus and in society more broadly. Rooted in and inspired by the University’s Methodist identity, the center seeks to help SMU students, faculty and staff discern and develop connections between their religious convictions and their academic and professional work. In addition, the center seeks to highlight and to promote dialogue surrounding the relevance of faith-based perspectives to fundamental questions in every area of intellectual inquiry and public life.
This semester’s devotional guide contains devotions around our theme for the semester, Missed Call? Purpose & Calling in College Life. The SMU community features a diverse community of Christian traditions, and this guide reflects a small piece of that variety. No one viewpoint is meant to be representative of all Christians or all traditions. Instead, we hope it is a reflection of the wider story God is telling amongst our community.
