PRINCETON, NEW JERSEY - The Princeton University Gospel Ensemble celebrated a successful year with an energized, upbeat concert on May 4. The student-directed group performed for nearly three hours before a packed audience at Nassau Christian Center in Princeton. At the conclusion of the event, at least two individuals responded to an altar call and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. “We couldn’t ask for anything more than that,” said Adrienne Simpson ’08, musical director. “The music means nothing if we’re not ministering to people.” The Princeton University Gospel Ensemble features close to forty undergraduate members and performs on and off-campus throughout the year.

NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT - Yale Divinity students and members of the New Haven community came together on Earth Day weekend for the Second Annual Interfaith Solidarity on Global Climate Change. Students at the Divinity School and the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies jointly sponsored the event. The purpose of the event was to “build bridges of religious environmentalism between Yale and the faith communities in the wider New Haven area.” The interfaith group gathered for a time of public meditation and a moment of silence. Attendees were also invited to participate in workshops discussing “Sustainable Community Outreach” and “Inconvenient Ethics: Using Al Gore in a Faith Context?”
