The Start of Term
A very warm welcome to Autumn Term at the University Chapels.
I am sure that you, like me, are hoping for a far more 'normal' academic year than the one we have just had. Whether you are a new student, a returning student or staff member, or a member of the local community, we hope you will find much to be inspired by in our programme of services and events this term.
Our choral music is sung by the University of Exeter Chapel Choir and, as we look forward to our Chapels resounding with choral music once again, there's never a better time than to come along to Evensong, or to our new 'Choral Contemplation' Sunday services.
We are especially excited to be joined by a number of speakers after our Choral Contemplation services on a Sunday evening, and our guests will be exploring topics as diverse as climate change, same sex marriage, the future of the church and the Covid crisis.
The Anglican Chaplaincy team is available throughout the week for confidential conversations with students and staff members – just get in touch by email or phone.
The University Anglican Chapels work closely with both the University of Exeter Anglican Society and Exeter Student Christian Movement, who each run discussions, speaker events and socials throughout the academic year.
The Staff Christian Network meets regularly for socials and prayer, often meeting at the University Chapels.
The University Chapels are part of the Multifaith Chaplaincy, providing pastoral support to students and staff of all faiths and none. The Multifaith Team run a drop-in 'Connections Café' in the Neil Cross room at the Forum Library, Streatham Campus, on Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes, and a drop-in lunch at St Luke's Community Garden (behind South Cloisters) on Wednesday lunchtimes.
My prayers are with you all in the joys and challenges that this new term will bring.
