At Northumbria, we see wellbeing as related to all
dimensions of a person’s being: cultural, social and spiritual as well as
physical, emotional and academic. Our chaplains are on hand to help you by
offering a listening ear, encouragement, prayer and, sometimes, advice.
Chaplains are happy to talk with you whatever your stance on life and its
meanings. Our work includes: “Spiritual life-coaching” or “spiritual accompaniment” - helping
you to explore perplexities of meaning and direction in life.
- Helping groups to meet in Chaplaincy rooms (or other parts of the
University).
- Facilitating opportunities for prayer, worship and spiritual
exploration.
- Finding and disseminating information on local places of worship:
churches, synagogues, mosques, mandir, gurdwara and other similar places.
- Advising on the quiet
and prayer places that are available on campus, including the Spiritual Commons
Rooms, the Coach Lane Quiet Room, London Campus prayer room and the Muslim
Prayer Facility.
- Linking up the University, student
faith societies and student faith groups based outside
the university and the Students' Union.
- Promoting understanding between people of different life-stances
and encouraging dialogue, debate and respectful and frank exchanges of
views.
