Welcome to Multi-faith Chaplaincy

“The secret of interfaith dialog is not that we seek to convert each other, but that we help one another find what is meaningful in our own traditions” – Amir Hussain

Multi-faith Chaplaincy is here for you to explore spirituality, faith, religion, value, meaning and ethics. Or –in the words of our mission statement- Multi-faith Chaplaincy at Concordia University exists within the academic community to nurture faith, spirituality and social responsibility, and to provide a pastoral presence, especially for students.

 

What's in it for you?

First of all, you are welcome here, just as you are.  Whether you are someone on their own spiritual path,  a member of a traditional faith, or someone not sure about spirituality and faith, but willing to explore it, we are here for you. You are most welcome to drop by, whether you have a question to be answered, or “just because”.

We offer opportunity for community, spiritual practice, service and personal growth. We are, in the words of some students, “a safe space” or “a home away from home” and a place where you can deepen the sense of yourselves and the world around us by engaging all that we are. We invite you to explore what it means to live in a diverse and multi-faith world as a responsible human being.

So come check us out! We are more than you think!
