Our chaplains can help you if you are going through a personal crisis, feeling homesick or lonely, need special consideration, have a prayer request, or are curious about spiritual questions.
We offer individual or group spiritual counselling, support, prayer and meditation groups, religious education and workshops on a variety of topics, in order to support the faith development of the campus community.
Chaplains can offer support by:
- being available at critical moments to facilitate your personal and spiritual growth
- providing personal and/or spiritual support regardless of faith tradition
- connecting you with appropriate groups for support.
In this climate of diversity and challenging global issues chaplains may also:
- facilitate discussion groups on a wide variety of theological, ethical and justice-related concerns
- provide advice and assistance to the campus community at times of celebration, mourning and transition
- encourage and nurture the development of a sense of shared community
- create an environment of multi-faith respect and cooperation.
- Please check with individual chaplains (see Faiths Represented page) or chaplaincy on uts.chaplaincy@uts.edu.au
