Benefits of having an institutional place of worship : a case study of MUHAS and Dodoma universities, Tanzania
(Adventist University of Africa, Theological Seminary, 2020-05) Mbuguru, Hamisi Rajabu
Although Adventist students at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) at Dar es Salaam in Tanzania are being allowed to worship within the University facilities, they do not have a dedicated place for worship. Because of this, the researcher found that there was a need for students to establish a place dedicated for worship at MUHAS and to recommend the benefits of having a dedicated place of worship. The researcher studied one major group of the Adventist students that study at MUHAS main campus to verify the need and benefits of having a place dedicated to worship. The researcher studied the spiritual life of the Adventist students while they are at MUHAS and observed the need for a dedicated place of worship. The researcher developed a questionnaire, conducted seminars and interviews and the result showed that students have to establish the need and benefits of having a dedicated place of worship at MUHAS. Most students indicated that they need a place dedicated to worship at MUHAS because it will have more benefits for their spiritual needs. There are more benefits for students to have a place dedicated for worship at MUHAS than for them going to the local churches that surround MUHAS at Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
