SSRS
Statement of Purpose
To create, support and
promote activities which emphasize the importance to
America's future of religious tolerance and inclusiveness.
Such activities will generally be guided by the
reasonable principle of separation of religion and state
based in the Constitution of the United States of America.
To educate the members of
the University of Maryland campus and our neighbors
concerning the First Amendment and the fundamental origin
of the separation of religion and state in America.
To avoid political or
religious affiliation of the group, as the principles of
religious tolerance and inclusiveness should be
independent of party, political doctrine and ideology.
To challenge, by
emphasizing the detrimental effects of politics on
religion, political or religious movements which tend to
ignore or violate religion and state separation.
To cooperate and coordinate
with national organizations, including but not limited to,
Americans United for Separation of Church and State and
the American Civil Liberties Union.
To organize other students
at the University of Maryland for the furtherance of our
mission.
This statement of purpose
was written by Kyle Gustafson and Chris Stark and approved
by the body of SSRS.
