Chaplaincy

In the 21st century, religion is playing a role of increased significance in the politics of identity, of community cohesion and of international affairs. Religion and the questions of meaning and morality that it raises impact on both believer and non-believer alike. At LSE we take that significance seriously with the Chaplaincy being an integral part of the School.

Anglican in origin, the Chaplaincy has broadened out over the years to work across the Christian denominations and we are now in the process of expanding our support and hospitality to the diversity of faith traditions that make up LSE today. In 2013 we will be moving into a purpose-built Multi-Faith Prayer Centre in the New Students' Centre|. You can read about the plans for the new faith centre in the report| that went to the SAC last year.

In recent years the Chaplaincy has hosted the School's Interfaith Forum which seeks to build closer links between faith communities on campus. Students from the LSE go on to be leaders in both industry and government around the world. So we hope and pray that friendships built among students of different faiths here might be the building blocks of a more peaceful future for the world.

The Chaplain is available to speak to any student or member of staff of any faith or none and the conversation will remain confidential. The Chaplaincy is also open during the day for private prayer or just as a place to be quiet. Nothing is expected of those who come into the Chaplaincy; you will not be asked to read the Bible or sign up to a particular form of religious belief. You will simply be welcomed and listened to.
