Welcome to the Chaplaincy at the University of Exeter. We hope you enjoy your time here as a chaplain and take part in everything that the University has to offer. The Chaplaincy is a group of people from different religious traditions working together to serve the whole University Community; seeking wholeness, peace and justice through compassion, tolerance, wisdom and respect. We aspire to nurture and encourage spiritual awareness in those we meet, and we are open and available to everyone. We aim to be hospitable and inclusive at all times and we are located in the student Support Services Centre, The Forum and in the Chaplaincy Rooms, The Old Library (which includes areas for quiet, relaxation and a kitchen.) The Chaplaincy is coordinated by the Lazenby Chaplain, Revd Dr James Theodosius (Room 110, Old Library, 01392 725858;
