Chaplaincy

Welcome to the University of Warwick Chaplaincy

officla opening wstwoodAt the heart of central campus, the Chaplaincy is a vibrant space for all members of the University community. It’s a popular gathering place that welcomes students and staff of any or no faith.

The Chaplaincy is home to the Christian (Catholic, Anglican, Free Church), Jewish and Muslim Chaplains, who are always glad to meet students and staff socially and pastorally. As a valued part of the University’s Welfare network, the chaplains offer everyone a sympathetic ear in total confidence.

There are regular services for all Christian denominations and congregational prayers for Muslims for all five daily prayers. Christian, Jewish and Muslim groups meet several times a week for prayer scriptural text study and discussion. On Friday nights Jewish Students meet for the Shabbat meal; a kosher kitchen is available in the building. The Islamic prayer hall was added in March 2006 providing prayer spaces for men and women, a halal kitchen, ablution facilities and a library, and is widely recognised as one of the finest facilities of its kind in the UK.

Welcome to Sue Burchell

Sue is an Anglican Priest in Charge in Banbury and is currently studying for an MA in Interreligious Relations at St Philip's Centre, Leicester (associated with De Montfort University). She will be joining the Chaplaincy on placement during term 3 when she will be in the Chaplaincy for a few hours each week for experience of an interfaith setting and is looking forward to chatting with students and staff.

She says about herself "I came to the priesthood later in life having worked variously in computers, finance and rights of way (footpaths, bridleways, etc.) mapping. I trained for ministry on the Oxford Ministry Course and was ordained deacon in 2007, priest in 2008. I have a husband, three grown up children, a dog and a cat. My hobbies include church bell ringing, singing, reading and walking".
