The Charles P. Scott Center for Spiritual and Religious Life held a vigil in Mead Chapel last week following the Easter Sunday suicide bombings in Sri Lanka. The vigil was part of the weekly Wisdom Wednesday program, a half-hour midweek gathering meant for silent meditation and prayer.
“A significant part of our gathering is a time of silence,” said Mark Orten, dean and director of the Scott Center, at the vigil. “We are not pushing things away, but letting the business and the activity of our days settle so we can see clearly the world as it actually is, and ourselves as we actually are. To be, for a moment, human beings as opposed to human doings.”
