one role out of many at the
Koinonia Center
‘’The main purpose of this
place is to provide a sense of
community and a sense of com
fort. and a safe place for
students." said Fjerkenstad.
The Koinonia building itself
has been around since at least
the turn of the century. Part of
the long history includes hav
ing been the birth place of Joan
Mondale, whose father resided
there as a campus minister.
Some students come to find a
quiet place to study in the three
story building, or to meet infor
mally with each other. Many
non-religious groups hold
meetings at the center as well,
including Alcoholics
Anonymous and gay support
groups.
“There* are a lot of groups that
meet here that don't feel
welcome at other places and I'm
glad we can provide (a place)
for them." said Heger.
An important function of the
center is the counseling ser
vices In addition to the Inter
faith counselors, three other
organizations provide counsel
ing. Together they offer comfort
to people facing problems with
relationships, school stress,
money, and crises in faith.
Staff members encourage peo
ple to think of the center as a
place to be comfortable, and not
as a primarily religious place.
Anyone seeking proselytizing
sermons will be disappointed.
Students often visit the center
to temporarily escape from the
harried and stressful life of
paper deadlines and midterms
Particularly during fall new
students see the center as a com
munity where they find safety
and support. Most of the
students do not come in looking
for a religious connection.
Fjerkenstad said.
"They are looking for a com
munity. or support, or a group
of people they can relate to, or a
place of safety," Fjerkenstad
said
Interfaith also organizes a
series of activities and events.
Some of the planned ac
tivities this fall will include a
picnic for new students, a raf
ting trip down the McKenzie,
and study group meetings deal
ing with inner growth and outer
change.
Interfaith will also organize a
series of Brown Bag Forums
with the ASIIO. Faculty
members, political activists,
and community leaders take
part in the forums which can
range in subject from South
Africa, to coping with stress
during finals, and sex roles
within the church.
