August 5, 2005 - Hastings College students to build labyrinth on campus
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hastings, Neb., August 5, 2005 -- Nineteen Hastings College students will build a labyrinth on campus Saturday, Aug. 6, beginning at 8 a.m. The labyrinth, which will be a permanent campus fixture, will be located west of Circle Drive across from French Memorial Chapel.
The project is part of the college’s Vocation and Values Program and the annual Christian Ministry Scholars Workshop.
A labyrinth is an ancient pathway used in a variety of cultures as a means of prayer, devotion and reflection. Unlike a maze, the path always leads to the center. Made of flagstone, the labyrinth will be much like a large garden area just north of the sidewalk that leads to the flagpole in the center of campus.
Coordinating the project are Rev. Dr. Trace Haythorn, assistant professor of religion and director of the Vocation and Values Program; and Traci Boeve, associate director of admissions and Lilly recruitment coordinator.
The Vocation and Values Program is made possible through a $1.97 million grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. Grant dollars provide student scholarships, bring guest speakers to campus, and fund programming for a Christian ministry minor.
