Newsletters and publications such as Murmurings offer a way of keeping in touch with students and staff, reflecting on current events and ideas, books and articles, and raising important issues. Reflection and Discussion We aim for a spirit of genuine enquiry, with openness to the truths that may emerge, and to demands of justice. As God is the author of all truth, Chaplaincy is well suited to probe and question issues. We try to foster the practice of listening to people, liaise with different sections of the university, cross-disciplinary enquiry discussion and synthesis. Companionship Companionship and friendship are a vital feature of Chaplaincy.
People drop in to chat, share a cuppa or meal, to pray or study together.
Groups of students and staff are supported by our personal presence, resources, assistance with planning, mailing, liturgical and spiritual activity. One common theme is celebration. Frequently we host lunch discussions. We also run camps, conferences and colloquia. Committees Chaplaincy participates within the University at the level of Student and Administrative Services.
