Kay Spiritual Life Center
Welcome! The Kay Spiritual Life Center serves the university community as a center for religious life and spiritual growth. In keeping with AU's commitment to inquiry, diversity, service, and involvement, the Kay Center is an interfaith house of worship and a home to a rich array of faith communities as well as a crossroads where people of conscience, intellect, and spirit find a place for their questions and life struggles. The Kay Center fosters a climate of interfaith understanding and openness in which matters of faith and value are recognized as an integral part of university life. |
