Show RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS: unity in diversification Extending religious horizons for the University's 17,000 students, a wide range of religiously affiliated organizations represented the equally wide variation in denominations that exists in Utah. Baha'i, perhaps the most unique in its philosophy of campus religions, was founded in 19th century Iran by Baha'u'llah and continues its theology through eight members at the University. Constituting another BAHA'I: faith founded by Baha'u'llah - "Glory of God" The Baha'i Club, whose membership consists of eight U students but is not limited to members of the faith, represents an independent world religion founded in Iran. Believing that the major religions of the world were ail founded by messengers from the same God playing a part in the drama of God's purpose unfolding in history, the Baha'is hold public meetings and social functions to acquaint the campus with the teachings and spirit embodied by the faith. nondenominational religious organization on campus, Campus Crusade for Christ bases its doctrine upon the teachings of Christ in application while Channing, Unitarian society, promotes religious freedom and tolerance for differences in beliefs. Christian Science meets at the Union to bear testimony of religious support and finally, LDSSA amalgamates the Latter-day Saint population at the University. BAHA'I CLUB - Front: Edward Jones.
