Abstract

Using data from the collegiate religious and spiritual climate survey, this study examined the relationship between campus climate and ecumenical orientation. Space for spiritual support and expression, provocative encounters with worldview diversity, and challenging curricular experiences are associated with ecumenical orientations, but some effects are conditional on students' worldview.
