Christian chaplaincy
The Christian chaplaincy is available, in person, online, via web chat, phone and video calls.
About the Christian chaplaincy
The Christian chaplaincy offers pastoral care and support, hospitality and community, and a space for questions, uncertainties and dilemmas. Come and explore how faith, love and justice relate to the world of study and work.
Fortnightly on Wednesdays during semester time, there is a free-church and Anglican communion at 1.10pm at the BNBR Life Centre in the Octagon Centre. Everyone is welcome for this 20-30 minute service, and for drinks and biscuits afterwards.
Due to staff absence there will be no communion services in January and February 2024. We hope to resume on March 6; followed by March 20, April 24, May 8 and 22, and June 5. Please check back here for confirmation.
An inclusive community
We offer a warm welcome to all staff and students regardless of gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, ethnicity, ability or faith identity.
