This past summer, we received word that the The future of Lilly Endowment would give us $500,000 to continue PathWays for another three years, if the Chapel would match Lilly’s $500,000 pledge.

Just over four years ago, the Lilly Endowment, Inc. granted $2 million to Duke Chapel for a five year program that has come to be known as PathWays at Duke. PathWays invites Duke students on a journey of vocational discovery to connect their deepest values, faith, and gifts with the world’s needs. Through collaborative programming, individualized and group vocational counseling, a few signature campus-wide events, an intensive summer internship program, and a year-long Christian Fellowship, students enjoy access to knowledge and spiritual wisdom about vocation: what does God want me to do with my life? Specifically, the main components of the program increase the number of students engaged in the work of the church, the practice of faithful service, and the practice of theological vocational discernment in community. The continuance of PathWays at Duke past the five year grant period and integrated with the larger Duke Chapel vision will substantially complement Duke University’s goal to produce out- standingJ young leaders of character, while helping students view their service to humanity in light of their faith. There are three dimensions to the PathWays Program – Exposure and Challenge, Discussion and Discernment, Practice and Reflection.

We expect Duke University to become well known as a university where vocational calls are heard and nurtured; that those who have found vocations at Duke be distinctive in that their understanding of vocation is both deeply theological and deeply con- nected with people experiencing social disadvantage; and that the University be proud of its campus ministries as conduits of this form of grace. We hope you will join with others in supporting vocational programming at Duke by making a gift to PathWays. You will find it is a check-off on the envelope stapled into this newsletter.

The deans of the various schools that make up Duke University think so, and they are willing to talk about it. Duke Chapel is sponsoring a series of five to six events to be held monthly in the Bryan Center over a weekday lunch. These gathering will offer opportunities for members of the University community to discuss profound questions of common interest in an atmo- sphere that combines open enquiry, academic rigor, personal investment and managerial real- ism. These events will be chaired by Sam Wells and include respective deans of the schools of Duke University reflecting on the topic of “is it possible to do any good?”. This reflection will be followed by a time of question and response. The deans have a unique leadership role at Duke yet they are offered few opportunities to set out their vision and perspective on the broader common issues that face every student prepar- ing for a career. These gatherings offer others the opportunity to discover what motivates the senior leaders of Duke’s schools and how they combine their sense of Dialogue with purpose with their disciplinary expertise. Dean Sandy Williams of the Duke Chapel has a unique role in encouraging discussion about matters of common Duke School of Medicine concern and to enable dialogue to occur around the deeper issues that shape our October 25, 2006 character, lives, and world. All are encouraged to attend these dialogues, the first of 12:20 to 1:20pm which will feature Dean Sandy Williams of the School of Medicine. The event will be held on October 25, 12:20 to 1:20pm in Von Canon A located in the downstairs Von Canon A, Bryan Center area of the Bryan Center. Food is not provided, but brown bags are welcome.
