Feedback from the Humanities & Belief Workshop:

“probably the most intellectually enlarging and spiritually strengthening experience of my life”

“an incredible, fundamentally career altering experience. 20 out of 10”

“one of the best things I’ve ever been a part of”

“More than anything else, this seminar provided me with new insights and experiences which strengthened my belief in Christ and my membership in the church.”

“Though I don’t think I have quite the right words to describe all the causes, this workshop has left me with a stronger faith in Christ, particularly in the way that the Atonement of Christ can have real and lasting power to change people for better. As a result, I am committed to find more ways to experience that power in my life.”

“perhaps the most valuable thing I gained would be hope: hope that the gospel is a path of eternal spiritual and intellectual progression that we must learn how to work through in our individual lives; hope that God wants us to ask questions and seek to integrate all aspects of our lives; hope that my work in the humanities matters and that I do have a vocation to do good through it.”

“I feel hope again. Hope about my membership in the Church. Hope about my future growth and development as a scholar and a writer. Hope about my research. Hope about my profession and discipline.”
