WHERE: Virtual
WHEN: June 25, 2025, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM
DESCRIPTION: Join the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and Rev. Dr. Gregory McGonigle for a discussion of his book, Religious Diversity and University Chaplaincy: Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Humanist Chaplaincy in Higher Education (Wipf and Stock, 2024). From the publisher:
Since the 1990s, the religious diversity of United States universities has increased, with growing numbers of students, faculty, and staff who are Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and Humanist. To support these demographics, university chaplaincies and spiritual life programs have been expanding beyond their Christian and Jewish compositions to include chaplains and programs for these traditions. Through interviews with these new chaplains, this book examines how these chaplaincies developed, the preparation the chaplains needed, their responsibilities, and the current challenges and the future prospects of these programs. It provides valuable advice for university leaders about how and why to develop spiritual life programs to support today’s religious diversity. This webinar is free and open to the public. Registrants will receive a coupon code for 40% off direct orders of the book from Wipf and Stock!
