I Register at www.utahstatesman.com The Man in the Window Monday, April 25, 2010 Visit: Discover religious similarities !continued from page 11 about Roman Catholicism from a local source, please visit http://sta.thischurch. org/. My personal favorite church visit this past year was to St. John's Episcopal Church in historic downtown Logan. The rector Susan Springer welcomes all individuals with open arms and a kind smile. The chapel is graced with wonderful imagery, including beautiful stained glass windows which add an aesthetic element to the religious experience. The Episcopal Church explains itself as both catholic and protestant in that they view themselves as a part of the larger Christian community, and share practices similar to that of the Roman Catholic Church, but protestant in that they are recognized as such by the Roman Catholic Church. Unlike the LDS and Roman Catholic Churches, the Episcopal Church ordains women to the priesthood, which may be an experience for some in itself to see a woman in a leadership role traditionally held by men. For more information about the Episcopal Church from a local source, please visit http://www.stjohnsch urch1. qwestoffice.nett These are only two of many religious institutions one can take the time to explore this summer season. Those who will be in areas such as Ogden and Salt Lake City will have even more options than would be found in Cache Valley, such as Cathedrals and Synagogues. Regardless of where you find yourself, I once again encourage you to broaden your horizons and experience something new by seeing just how those with faiths different than yours worship, practice, and view this existence in general. You will likely find unexpected similarities as you go about, as well as a newfound understanding and appreciation for the different theologies and practices you encounter. Here are the websites of just a few local religions for those of you who will be in Cache Valley this summer: • First Presbyterian Church of Logan: www.firstpreslogan.org • Prince of Peace Lutheran Church: www.princeopeace. org/ • Cache Valley Unitarian Universalists: www.cvuu.org/ • Logan Islamic Center: http://www.loganisc.org/ Cam Davis is a senior majoring in political science and religious studies.
