About us
The University of Glasgow Inter-faith Chaplaincy is a small team dedicated to:
- fostering student and staff well-being and flourishing, whatever their identity or beliefs, with thoughtful engagement, community building and belonging;
- providing spaces for students and staff to experience meaning-making, wonder and exploration through various services, events and music in the Memorial Chapel and elsewhere on campus;
- pastoral and spiritual care of students and staff;
- offering opportunities for worship and spiritual exploration on campus;
- facilitating conversations between people of different faiths and beliefs, nationalities and cultures;
- supporting student faith groups on campus.
We have a small staff team consisting of one full-time and one part-time Chaplain and a part-time administrator. In addition, we have access to a wider network of Honorary (volunteer) Chaplains. Together, we advise the University on the distinctives of lived faith and belief, and offer pastoral care to our students and staff.
The Inter-faith Chaplaincy is part of Student Support and Wellbeing, and we work closely with our colleagues in Counselling & Psychological Services, the Wellbeing Team and the Disability Service.
What is a Chaplain?
- A chaplain is usually a leader in their own faith tradition or belief system who is able to guide others on their faith practices and matters moral, ethical and spiritual. Chaplains often have a pastoral approach of ‘accompaniment’ – attending to people without judgment and offering supportive conversations along the way.
