Revd Dr Stuart Jennings was appointed by the Baptist, Methodist and URC Churches as Full Time Free Church Chaplain to serve at both Warwick and Coventry Universities in 2006. A convert to the Christian faith at the age of 19, he has subsequently served for nearly 30 years both as a Methodist minister and chaplain to a number of British universities. He has an interest in Christian spirituality and has organised retreats in Assisi, the Holy Land and the major Celtic Christian centres across the UK. He is a coordinator for the student 'Summer of service" volunteer scheme, where students live with a host family in Palestine and undertake voluntary work in schools and community peace projects.

A long time commitment to Multi-Faith dialogue has led him to serve as a Trustee on Coventry Multi-Faith Forum and formerly on the Leicester Council of Faiths and has presented papers on Multi-Faith themes at conferences around the world. He is also a trained bereavement support worker, specialising in children, young adults and the grieving process.

Stuart was awarded his doctorate (PhD) for research in Early Modern British History and he has published numerous academic articles, three books and contributed six entries to the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (DNB). He has served for five years as academic Director and lecturer on the Certificates in Historical Studies and Local History ran by the University of Warwick Centre for Lifelong Learning. He is married to Carol and they have two grown up children; Emily and John.
