Student Life

Christian went not forth alone, for there was one whose name was Hopeful who joined himself unto him, and, entering into a brotherly covenant, told him that he would be his companion.

Christian pilgrimmage is no solo act. It takes a supportive community. Nor is the academic journey something to be faced alone either. 100 of the more than 500 students at the Divinity School are Baptists. They are women and men, Euro-American and African-American, and just about every conceiveable type of Baptist. The Roger Williams Fellowship, named for the 17th century Free Church trailblazer, is the Baptist student organization in the Divinity School. They sponsor monthly meetings on campus for conversation about contemporary issues in Baptist life and plan fellowship gatherings for students and faculty.
