Season 2 Episode 1 -- Congregating at Grinnell: The Religious History of the College
George Drake ’56 kicks off Season 2 of the podcast by taking us on a tour of the College’s religious history. Members of the Iowa Band, a group of Congregationalist ministers from New England, founded the College in 1846, with the primary aim of educating future ministers. In this episode, Drake explores how the particular tenets of Congregationalism impacted the development of the College’s values and priorities. Although the College severed its formal ties with the Congregationalist Church long ago, its religious past endures, manifested in its tolerant environment and dedication to critical thought.
