Multi Faith Prayer Rooms open Students and staff can now make use of two Multi Faith Prayer Rooms at Westwood and Gibbet Hill, following their official openings during Inter Faith Week 21 - 25th November 2011. Izzy John, SU Welfare Officer, cut the ribbon to open the prayer room at Westwood on 23 November, and Chris Sury from the Students' Union, officially opened the Gibbet Hill room on 25 November 2011. The opening ceremonies were attended by the Chaplains and representatives from the Institute of Education, Warwick Medical School and Life Sciences. Dan Persaud, Director of Student Support, spoke on behalf of the University to welcome the provision of the rooms, which are dedicated spaces set aside for students and staff for quiet reflection, prayer and meditation. They are for people of all faiths and of none, to share and they form an extension to the Chaplaincy provision on central campus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please refer to what's on for other events taking place. At 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 Muslimchaplains, 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.
