[II_chapel.jpg]<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer and worship services and preaching has always been part of the fabric of Pine Mountain Settlement School&nbsp;and the broader community. However, the School has never placed a denominational stamp on the religion served out at the School. The staff of PMSS came from a variety of backgrounds, but almost all were Christian in their religious focus. Many of the directors and the staff served on international missions across a variety of denominations and brought that experience to bear on their perspectives and their work&nbsp;at the School. Rarely, however, was one denomination favored above another. As the School grew and particularly following the Second World War, religion in the region began to reflect denominations outside the Christian circle and many of the other world religions entered the communities surrounding the School. PMSS, however, remained isolated from broad exposure to other world religions, but slowly the educational programs introduced extensive educational experience of the world&#8217;s religions for its&nbsp;students in visiting guests, readings, and later, media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An endeavor that helped to move the community away from a narrow ecumenical perspective was Vespers and chapel services that were planned from the broader international religions&#8217;&nbsp;points of view. In the Boarding School years, the Chapel services were integrated into the educational program and were mandatory for all students and sought to present the broadest exposure possible to world religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is difficult to know just what <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=424\">Katherine Pettit<\/a>&#8216;s views on religion were, but she and <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1696\">Ethel de&nbsp;Long<\/a>, the co-founders, were adamant that the School not be tied to any one denomination. In Pettit&#8217;s Common Place Book she scribbled the note, &#8220;Pearl Buck said she found among Buddhists saintly people but they lived apart from men and she remembered how Jesus went about among his fellow men.&#8221; And more, &#8220;She [Buck] found among Confucians admirable people of high moral character, but they felt no obligations to their fellow men. She remembered how Jesus told us to never&nbsp;be one another&#8217;s burdens.&#8221; Later in her notebook, she lists &#8220;6 Men who should really be called great.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Jesus<\/li><li>Buddha<\/li><li>Asoka<\/li><li>Aristotle<\/li><li>Roger Bacon<\/li><li>A. Lincoln<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are followed by a quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;What I am trying to say is: Live beautifully. Put first things first. Let the great reverences be at the center of your life. Count sacred the things that really are sacred. Do not let life push, pull and hand you here and there until inwardly you yourself become a mob.&#8221;<br \/>Henry Emerson Fosdick<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These and many more observations by Pettit and also by de Long suggest that they had a very broad reach when it came to religious ideas. Their ideas were not always readily accepted, as Pettit wrote in her Common Place book,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Uncle Calvin said, &#8216;Hit&#8217;s giv out that Miss Pettit is a pure infidel because she has been around the world and came back saying the sun stood still when<\/em> <em>thar is the book of Joshua saying that the sun hit wuz &amp; is sot. She didn&#8217;t even know what became of the book of Ashur.'&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The services in the Pine Mountain Chapel were formalized by 1928 when the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=485\">Chapel<\/a> was completed and provided a central location for religious services. Director <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1015\">Glyn Morris<\/a>, an ordained minister in the Presbyterian faith from Yale&#8217;s Union Theological Seminary, brought his own liberal Presbyterian religious stamp to the campus, but he&nbsp;still attempted to be true to the non-denominational observance of religious practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-38203 size-large\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a-1024x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38203\" srcset=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a-1024x687.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a-300x201.jpg 300w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a-768x515.jpg 768w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a-624x419.jpg 624w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0352a.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Students entering Chapel during Boarding School years, c. 1940s [ii_chapel_0352a.jpg]<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the time Morris arrived, the Vespers program was well&nbsp;established. The person responsible for this program is not known, but Vespers was spread throughout the staff to prepare and present. &#8220;Vespers&#8221; is a term used to describe&nbsp;a&nbsp;sunset or evening prayer service familiar to the&nbsp;Orthodox, Western and Eastern Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran liturgies of the canonical hours. The word comes from the Greek \u1f11\u03c3\u03c0\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1 (&#8220;hespera&#8221;) and the Latin <em>vesper<\/em>, meaning &#8220;evening&#8221;. It is also referred to in the Anglican tradition as evening prayer or evensong. [Wikipedia] Vespers can also be observed earlier in the day and need not be confined to the evening. However, another term for &#8220;Vespers&#8221; is &#8220;Evensong,&#8221; particularly in the&nbsp;canonical hours of the English Anglicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"795\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d-1024x795.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38221\" srcset=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d-1024x795.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d-300x233.jpg 300w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d-768x596.jpg 768w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d-624x485.jpg 624w, http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/II_chapel_0360d.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Interior of the Chapel.

It is also not unusual for those couples to return time and again to remember their nuptials in the small chapel. During the Boarding School years, wedding attendees would often see the groom run to escape the traditional toss into the swimming pool following the ceremony. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been many beautiful and unusual weddings performed by staff who were also ministers. Glyn Morris, a graduate of Union Theological School, may hold the record for the number of ceremonies. Among the staff at the School, there were other ministers including the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=3473\">Rev.
