                             The Guild House is a United Campus Ministry

Guild House is dedicated to engaging in the struggles for justice and liberation at the University of Michigan and in our world. It is a campus ministry deeply rooted in the life and work of the Christian faith and of other traditions and groups which share a ministry of concern for human fulfillment and a just and humane society.

Exodus and resurrection, liberation and transformation, empowerment and change are important paradigms that inform our several religious and spiritual perspectives, and serve to guide our common ministry. We share with sisters and brothers everywhere a commitment to more meaningful and spiritual existence. Like all people and institutions we are not neutral, we stand with those who struggle for human justice and decency.

Guild house staff meets with students, faculty and staff on personal issues as well as systemic concerns like racism, sexism and homophobia.

We work in coalition with other groups and individuals, among them LASC (Latin American Solidarity Committee) and CAWS (Campuses Against Weapons in Space).

Guild house also supports groups and individuals by providing space for meetings and staff time for projects and groups.
