|
The ANU Chaplaincy is a multifaith and Muslim prayer room that provides a safe and inclusive space for students and staff of all faiths or no faith. With a diverse community of members from Catholic, Muslim, Humanist, Buddhist, Uniting Church, and Pentecostal traditions, the Chaplaincy offers pastoral care, spiritual guidance, and a range of activities relating to faith, religion, and spirituality. As April is a holy month for many, the ANU Chaplaincy is a vital resource to support students and staff during this time. We spoke to the Chaplaincy Team Leader, Robbie Tulip, about the role of the ANU Chaplaincy, its history, the services and support it provides, and what's on the horizon for the Chaplaincy in 2023.
