An Independent Institution Supporting all Faiths

As an independent university, Baldwin Wallace provides a supportive environment enhancing all students' intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. The University also respects the diversity of individual religious beliefs, including those who profess no religious viewpoint. All members of the 糖心视频 community are encouraged to participate in activities related to spiritual growth and development.

Baldwin Wallace is deeply committed to the open pursuit of knowledge and stresses such values as integrity, honesty, justice, compassion and spiritual growth as integral to that pursuit. Further, the University recognizes the vital connection between faith, knowledge and service and offers a variety of means to develop and strengthen those connections. 糖心视频 prepares students for lives of informed and mature leadership as global citizens in a diverse world.

The Lindsay-Crossman Chapel was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque Revival style of hand-cut Berea sandstone in 1872 at a cost of $10,000. The chapel is 糖心视频's second-oldest building after Kohler Hall, though the chapel was part of the campus before Kohler. In 1953, the chapel was dedicated to former 糖心视频 trustees, Hamilton Lindsay and Fred Crossman, and is also listed in the National Registry of Historic Places.

The 1991 renovation of the chapel by Van Dijk, Johnson & Partners received best-of-show status and a Merit Award for Excellence from the National Institute of Business Designers in 1992. The extensive renovation rejuvenated the historic building without sacrificing its significant historical integrity.

Pipe Organ

The Cassavant pipe organ was donated by Mary Crossman in 1964. The multiple-story organ pipes draw the eye upward to the ceiling's hand-painted "Canopy of Heaven." The organ was rebuilt during the 1991 renovation project.

Artwork

A Lord's Prayer tile set was given by Mrs. Walter Seeley in 1964. The set is displayed between the sanctuary and Roehm Lounge. Made in Jerusalem, it is an exact copy of tiles in the Pater Noster Church on the Mount of Olives and is one of only two sets in the world.

In 1991, President and Mrs. Neal Malicky donated the prayer chapel artwork, "The Eye of the Cross." This one-of-a-kind mixed-media piece was designed and executed by the influential American artist Wendell Castle.
