599 THESIS (4)
ligion Religion is an attempt to understand the meaning of human existence. For Christians meaning is revealed in the love of God in Jesus Christ. The Department of Religion stands within and affirms this Christian context. In a university setting this means the serious aca demic study of the Bible, of the history of the Christian tradition, of attempts to understand God's continuing activity, and of God's promises for the future. The revelation of God in Jesus Christ likewise calls for other roles. It calls for open and authentic dialogue with other religiOUS traditions, and thus seeks to understand a common humanity as each tradition adds its unique contribution. It calls for a critical yet constructive interchange with con temporary society. Finally, it calls for a sharing of insights with other diSciplines in the university as each sheds light on the human condition.
To these ends the Department of Religion offers a wide range of courses and opportunities_ Further more it calls students, majors and non,majors alike, to consider questions of meaning, purpose, and value in a society which all too often neglects these questions. Lutheran Institute for Theological Education (LITE): The Department of Religion also partici pates in a program of continuing theological education for clergy and laity in ,the Pacific Northwest. Dr. Walter Pilgrim directs the LITE program. For futher details contact Dr. Pilgrim.
