Graduate School

Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life

Brown’s Chaplains began serving the University in 1953 and today are a multi-faith team—Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant—who work with students in all programs, as well as staff, faculty, and alumni/ae.

The Chaplains extend a welcome to all religious traditions, as well as those who identify as secular or spiritual. Chaplains pray, teach, share coffee and tea, hold office hours and offer programs for the religious and the non-religious. They strive to ameliorate prejudice and to strengthen acceptance and literacy as an essential competence for the liberally educated. The Chaplains provide confidential counsel and sanctuary to any member of the Brown community.  They seek to create spaces and opportunities to explore life's profound questions, whether religious, philosophical, ethical, or within spiritual practice.
