University of Mount Union
The University of Mount Union, established in 1846 by Methodist laypeople, holds strong roots in the Christian tradition synonymous with the American Methodist movement. Emphasizing the principles of inclusivity and equal opportunity education, it ardently upholds the values of diversity, non-discrimination, and academic rigor.
Recent discussions have led to the decision to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church due to conflicting views regarding LGBTQ+ inclusion. In response, the university aims to intensify its campus ministry and spiritual life programs, reinforcing its commitment to furnishing a nurturing environment for diverse religious beliefs and spiritual exploration.
While discontinuing direct affiliation, the institution remains dedicated to its Methodist and Wesleyan heritage, ensuring the continuity of its preserving traditions. This bold move signals the University of Mount Union's unwavering dedication to evolving in sync with the evolving societal and cultural landscape while maintaining its long-standing commitments to academic excellence and inclusive education.
