The University Multifaith Chaplaincy serves all members of the University - students and staff - of all Faiths and none, undergraduates and postgraduates. The Multifaith Chaplaincy Team is always available and Chaplains can be found at The Chaplaincy Hub in the Old Library or in the Multifaith Chaplaincy Office in the Forum (Careers Zone). On St Luke’s, Chaplaincy is based in the office at the back of St Luke’s Chapel. Chaplains offer confidential listening, pastoral support and hospitality throughout the year. The Chaplaincy also offers events, faith-based activities, interfaith dialogue, and time to engage with topical issues, spirituality and reflection on searching questions and moral issues. Chaplaincy is a safe place to talk, to be heard and to find the support you need.

The Lazenby Chaplain (full time Anglican Chaplain) and Coordinating Chaplain is currently in vacancy. All enquiries about Anglican Chaplaincy or the Mary Harris Chapel can be send to Revd Hannah Alderson, St Luke’s Chaplain h.alderson@exeter.ac.uk
