More than 250 students are involved in regular spiritual activities at Adrian College — some with traditional United Methodist backgrounds and others far from that.
Take junior literature major Meela Zecevic for example. Her father was “like Muslim and Catholic” when she was growing up, while her mother was “like Muslim and Christian” before they moved to Germany and became Jehova’s Witnesses.

Now she said she guesses the family considers themselves “some form of Christian” living in the United States and Zecevic said Adrian College has been the perfect place to explore her spirituality and purpose in life.
Recently she was honored to give a speech relating to the Biblical story of Daniel and the lion’s den at a Wednesday chapel service.
Chaplain Chris Momany said students have been leading chapel for about a year now and it gives them a chance to relate with fellow students on a whole new level.
“At first I had to re-read it and then for a little while I was kind of irritated at Daniel,” Zecevic said. “So I didn’t want to bad-mouth Daniel or whatever, so I put it aside for a while and like a week before I started writing about it and I decided to talk to everybody about how the story relates to us all when times are tough and that pretty much if you believe in yourself enough you’ll get a lot of things done that you need to get done.”
She said “being on the other side” was empowering and she’d love to do more public speaking.
