Religion provides a means essential for soul-searching Religion is not a course in scrip- ture reading nor five rows of people waiting in line for confessions. It is a way of being and thinking, not al- ways apparent, but nevertheless present. It is a way of deciding how and why to act, or perhaps even whether to act. Religion is not preached nor sung nor proclaimed. It is, and must be, felt. It is both questions and ques- tioned. It is part sociology, mar- riage, philosophy. It is at times comforting, at times confusing. Religion is nothing ersatz. It is genuine; and takes in the whole gamut of life. Religion is the ulti- mate explanation that sometimes does not exp lain, but at least at- tempts to help students and adults alike to get the most out of life.
