The Chaplaincy includes the University Chaplain who is responsible for leading university spiritual life overall and for providing direct support for those communities not served by associate chaplains. Tufts’ associate chaplains include Jewish, Catholic, Muslim, and Protestant Chaplains who serve the whole Tufts family as well as their particular communities. Spiritual life at Tufts also includes many campus communities across the religious and philosophical spectrum with many weekly gatherings and special programs offered each semester.

The University Chaplaincy also reaches beyond religion narrowly-defined to collaborate and integrate spirituality and ethics into all aspects of university endeavor and to relate with spiritual, ethical, and interfaith communities locally, nationally, and globally. Our work includes worship, prayer, meditation and ritual leadership, pastoral care and counseling, teaching and educational programming, holiday and cultural programming, community service and social justice work, interfaith work and institutional relations, and making recommendations to the President.

The University Chaplaincy honors and promotes Tufts’ Universalist heritage and spirit. We are committed to offering opportunities for all at Tufts to experience a rich inner life, dynamic devotion, critical spiritual thought, deep ethical reflection, meaningful community, and active and constructive engagement with the pressing issues and needs of our time.
