Is Trinity college(CT) a religious school?

Question

i heard it was from different people but then again i read about it and it doesn't say anything about religion

Answer 1

It was founded as an Episcopalian college -- but is no longer affiliated with any religion. For more details, read the first paragraph of the web page using the link below.

Most colleges that are more than 100 years old and are not public were founded as religious schools. Duke was originally Quaker and then became methodist. Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton were all founded as religious schools.

Answer 2

It's not like Regent University in Virginia Beach but it is somewhat religious

Although its earliest heritage was Episcopalian, its principal founder and first president having been the Rt. Rev. Thomas Brownell, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, its charter prohibits the imposition of religious standards on any student, faculty members or other members of the college, consistent with the forces of religious diversity and toleration in force at the time.

Most Private Colleges in America are Religiously Founded and are still often guided by religious leaders.

Duke and USC for example are Methodist

All the Ivy Leage schools were intially Christian

Yale, Harvard, etc.

Marymount, Loyola and Notre Dame are Catholic.

They ALL, however, generally tend to lean towards the EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION side of the fence.

However, if you are a Methodist Ministers son or daughter Duke will give your application a bit more attention BUT they still lean towards the ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE line of the fence.

There are very few secular private colleges.

These colleges often employ ATHEIST Professors so there is nothing ruffled about things.

BUT they CAN AND DO bend a little religiously.

You cannot get the STUDENT HEALTH SERVICES at Firmly Catholic college to give you the morning after pill or provide Birth Control Pills on your STUDENT HEalth plan.

It's simply NOT COVERED.

This is the limtied kinds of "controls" they put on some services.

A given college MAY have Chaplin Prayer services at sports events.

A Chaplin may given an invocational at Graduation or on Opening day.

You are NOT required to kiss a ring or swear to God.

But you can't go to the ACLU and sue them over this. They will dump you out of school if you try that tactic.

You apply to Duke, get accepted and go there expect that about six of the Board of Trusettes are high ranking Methodist agents.

Many such colleges use CHAPLINS instead of a formal minsiter or preist, but SOME officiate with the party line, but again it's not REQUIRED you participate

And it's only a small facet.

Understand Duke and HArvard, both religiously guided to a degree, are working on creating ARTIFICIAL CELLUAR LIFE which goes against a lot of RELIGIONS and they do so with the BLESSING of everyone.

It's about the EDUCATION and ADVANCEMENT

Religioin does not interfere in the work area, the grading, the admissions process, the staff or the students.

But I can show it self at events like Football Games with an INVOCATION from the Chapel Chaplin.

Team members are not required to pray, but are supposed to respect the invocation.

This is not High School.

You don't like the "slight" taint of the religious element GO TO A STATE RUN UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE that is ranked FAR BELOW the private ones in stature!

Go to U Conn Storrs

They're not going to indoctrinate you and you won't have the smell of holy water on your body.

But here and there you may see and hear some religious things that may bug the sensibilites of some types of people and to them Don't go to a DUKE, Loyola, Yale, HArvard, Purdue to so SUNY, Go to U Conn Storrs go to UCLA, not USC.

Get a second rate education to spite your religious animosities.
