Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

OUR MISSION TO EXPLORE THE INTERSECTION OF CHRISTIAN FAITH AND CONTEMPORARY SCHOLARSHIP INVOLVES THREE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES: RESEARCH INITIATIVES, SPIRITUAL FORMATION, AND HOSTING PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE MISSION OF THE RIVENDELL INSTITUTE TO EXPLORE AND ADVANCE THE CONTRIBUTION OF A CHRISTIAN VISION OF LIFE TO HUMAN FLOURISHING WITHIN ACADEMIA AND CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AIMS TO EQUIP CHRISTIAN STUDENTS AND FACULTY FOR A LIFETIME OF SERVICE, TO PRODUCE SCHOLARSHIP THAT BRINGS A CHRISTIAN VOICE TO ACADEMIC DISCOURSE, AND TO CREATE CONVERSATIONS AT YALE THAT HIGHLIGHT THE VITAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHRISTIAN FAITH AND THE ISSUES OF THE AGE.

  • OUR RESEARCH CENTERS FOCUSED THEIR ATTENTION ON THE INTERSECTION OF THEOLOGY AND THE ARTS AND ON RELIGION AND PUBLIC POLICY (AS WELL AS RELIGIOUS FREEDOM). PROGRAMS IN THESE AREAS INCLUDED LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONSULTATIONS WITH SCHOLARS AND EXPERTS IN THESE RESPECTIVE FIELDS, COLLOQUIA FOR YALE FACULTY AND STUDENTS, AND PUBLICATIONS (CONFERENCE PAPERS, JOURNAL ARTICLES, ETC.)

    Expenses $274,896

  • OUR SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND MENTORING ACTIVITIES OFFERED A VARIETY OF LARGE AND SMALL GROUP PROGRAMS FOR CHRISTIAN STUDENTS AND FACULTY, AS WELL AS FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN EXPLORING FAITH. OUR RIVENDELL STUDENT FELLOWS PROGRAM FEATURED SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS TO HELP STUDENTS INTEGRATE CHRSTIAN FAITH WITH ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL WORK, AND PERSONAL MENTORING. OUR SPIRITUAL FORMATION PROGRAM INCLUDED WEEKLY LARGE GROUP MEETINGS THAT FEATURED THE APPLICATION OF BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES TO LIFE AND CAREER, AND PRSENTATIONS BY YALE PROFESSORS ABOUT THEIR OWN FAITH JOURNEYS. PERSONAL MENTORING OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS WAS ALSO OFFERED. BOTH OF THESE MENTORING PROGRAMS ALSO HOSTED RETREATS AND SEASONAL SOCIAL GATHERINGS.

    Expenses $287,570

  • OUR PUBLIC CONVERSATIONS CONSISTED OF FACULTY ROUNDTABLES, ATTENDED BY YALE FACULTY FROM MANY DIFFERENT ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES. THESE EVENTS FEATURED PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS OF TOPICS AT THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH AND SCIENCE ESPECIALLY. ON AVERAGE, OVER 100 YALE FACULTY ATTENDED.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
