Chaplaincy services are available to all members of the universities, not just to undergraduates.
Chaplaincy services are available to people of all faiths or none, not just to Christians.
Chaplains are driven to serve others because they are people of faith; they don’t expect you to have any interest in religion although they are happy to discuss matters of faith with you.
At the Chaplaincy, we understand that life is sometimes hard:
- Balancing the demands of work and home life;
- Managing time effectively so that you can meet deadlines;
- Being a leader or being part of a team challenges our personal skills;
- Living in a diverse society and trying to understand other lifestyles and religious observances;
- Maintaining your personal ethics in a work environment;
- Living far away from family and friends to pursue study or career goals;
- Concerns for younger or less experienced colleagues and students.
Chaplaincy can help you in many ways:
- One-to-one confidential support with a chaplain of your choice;
- Group activities to socialise outside your department;
- Quiet activities for mediation or prayer;
- Quiet spaces to take time out of your day.
