Religion on campus & around town April 21, 2008

Religious organizations on campus are quite plentiful and diverse. However, Lexington being a college town is not as religiously diverse as some students think it should be.

Rachel Fields, previous leader of freshman activities at Christian Student Fellowship, said for having such a big university in town, Lexington is not has religiously diverse as she feels it should be.

Fields attend the 608 service at Southland Christian Church frequently but her home church, Southern Acres Christian Church, does not have a big college base. She says there are about four to five regular attendees and that is it.

She does not feel that the churches around Lexington do enough to reach out to the college age group

I recently spoke with Brett Nolan, a philosophy sophomore here at UK, about the two topics and his views on evolution and intelligent design, and his views on the film. Check out the video below to see what he had to say on the issue.
