The Office of the University Chaplain serves as a dynamic hub, supporting all spiritual life at Tufts and providing multifaith programs and services. The University Chaplain leads the University Chaplaincy team, including chaplains, residents, and interns who serve Tufts’ Africana, Buddhist, Catholic, Humanist, Jewish, Muslim, and Protestant communities. The University Chaplain provides special support and advising for communities not represented by the other chaplains, including Hindus, Sikhs, and Unitarian Universalists. The University Chaplain is responsible for Goddard Chapel and the Interfaith Center, and reaches beyond religion narrowly construed to support many aspects of university endeavor and relations with surrounding communities. This includes teaching, community service, counseling, helping to promote a positive ethical climate, and making recommendations to the President. The University Chaplaincy honors Tufts’ Universalist heritage and spirit of interdependence, peacemaking, and social justice.
