| has gloss | eng: Institutes of Religion provide religious educational classes for young single adult and university students who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Local institutes may be run out of ordinary church meetinghouses, but often have their own buildings situated adjacent to colleges or universities (especially those found in the Mormon Corridor areas in the Western United States and Canada). The Church describes the purpose of the Institute program as "weekday religious instruction for single and married postsecondary students." Institutes of Religion are professionally directed by the Church Educational System, the same department responsible for the seminary program and Brigham Young University. |
