Meet and connect with Christians at the University of Minnesota for various social events like film nights, Fridays@Anselm, and Waffle Wednesdays.

Throughout the year, we convene scholars from various disciplines and theologians from various Christian traditions for public lectures. Some of our past lectures included "Resisting Violence and the Journey of Reconciliation: Lessons from Rwanda" with Fr. Emmanuel Katongole and "God and the Universe: Modern Physics, Ancient Faith" with Dr. Stephen Barr.

Join students, faculty/staff, and Anselm House staff in prayer — we gather by the fireplace at Melrose Station everyday at noon for 10-15 minutes of prayer.

Each semester, we offer several short courses to provide the Anselm House community an opportunity to gather for teaching and discussion, foster intellectual friendship, and help participants connect faith and knowledge with all of life. And we do this over dinner! Interested in learning more about C.S. Lewis’ Out of the Silent Planet or Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart?

Looking to foster intellectual friendship while taking a deep dive into books that help connect faith with all of life? This semester our multi-part book discussions are embedded in our short courses.

Throughout the semester, Anselm House regularly convenes UMN students, faculty/staff, and professionals from beyond the university around key questions in different fields of study and academic domains. We currently host groups in the following areas: agriculture, entrepreneurship, law/public policy, healthcare. Contact AJ Poelarends for more information — about these groups or a different field of interest.

Faculty can apply to join a vibrant intellectual community dedicated to exploring issues related to the integration of Christian faith and life with the vocation teaching, scholarship, and public engagement.

Our Colin MacLaurin Fellows Program offers one of the most innovative programs of Christian education and formation available to students attending any public university. Learn with other students how to bring all of your life into God’s story.

Join others interested in deeper discussion of how Christianity shapes all of life in contexts around the world. Learn more about this track of our Student Fellows program.
