By Michael Hichborn, Lepanto Institute - According to the assistant chaplain, Thomas More University enrolls students who are Catholic, members of other Christian denominations, and adherents of non-Christian religions, including Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. He stated that because many such students lack transportation to off-campus houses of worship, students “on their own, were using space that was not appropriate or conducive to prayer.”... after considering space constraints, noise, and security concerns, students of all faiths were offered the use of the meditation or prayer room as an interfaith chapel.
