Study addresses undergraduate faith

WASHINGTON — The Council for Christian Colleges and Universities has received a grant of almost $200,000 from the John Templeton Foundation to fund a study of undergraduate faith and spiritual development.

The “Faithful Change” project will assess changes in the faith of students as they study on campuses affiliated with the council. The Templeton grant of $197,000 will be sued for study of 360 students throughout their college years.

Arthur J. Nonneman, director of institutional research and assessment at Asbury College in Wilmore, Ky., will be one of the co-directors of the project.

The Washington-based council is an association of more than 95 member colleges and universities.
