"There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground."  --Rumi

Welcome, wherever you are or are not on your spiritual journey!

We desire all persons within the Bates community to experience the Multifaith Chaplaincy as a good place to find and create life-giving relation.

We hope and strive to be a safer harbor, a source of refreshment and renewal, a resource for growth and wisdom, a maker of connections, a giver of unqualified compassion, a gathering of justice-makers.

We are a resource for members of the Bates Community who are: participants in an established religious tradition; "spiritual but not religious"; agnostic; atheist or secular humanists; curious, radically questioning or just unsure about sacred matters; interested in social justice opportunities and contemplative practices.

 

Bill Blaine-Wallace and Emily Wright-Timko, Multifaith Chaplains
