Vine 93' To accomplish its mission in the world, the church has a growing need for capable young men and women who have a thorough education in religion as well as a solid personal religious commitment. On the La Sierra campus of Loma Linda University, the Division of Religion is helping to supply this need by preparing students for various forms of pastoral as well as education min istry. Education in religion is the highest kind of learning-because it is a person al encounter with ultimate issues and internal values. A major in religion is no easy road to a college degree. Besides calling for certain basic ability, it requires both dedication and discipline. It demands and certainly deserves, a student's best efforts. The academic vigor of LLU's Divi sion of Religion is personified in its highly trained faculty. This faculty is distinguished by writing and research accomlishments as well as pastoral and teaching skills. Manuscripts in process draw on the disciplines of old testa ments, archeology, christian, virtue church, reformation history, theology and social ethics. Such engagement in writing as research can enhance class room discovery. In addition to classroom activities and individual study, education in re ligion at Loma Linda University involve and leadership in witnessing and ser vice-opportunities that occur through out the school year, and in special sum mer programs, and include campus life, nearby churches, and communities action projects. Varied curricular activities provide partial experience. Externship makes it possible for ministerial and educa tional studies majors to find direct in volvment in local churches. Clinical pastoral education is possible at LLU Medical Center. And summer study in Israel is an option elected by selected students who desire field work in arche ology and Biblical studies. Further, extra curricular activities allow classroom theory to be translated into life. The Campus Ministries offer diverse programs for witness and ser vice. The City Parish Congregation unite faculty and students from both campuses to actively find involvment in the worships and witness dimensions of congregational life in a small church setting. Through study, research, writing teaching and doing, the Division of Re ligion faculty and students seek to con tribute skills and commitment in opera tionalizing the term Christian Univer sity. opportunities for personal participation
