Religious and Spiritual Life
Religious and Spiritual Life
The Office of the Chaplain and Religious and Spiritual Life supports HDS students in the integration and deepening of their intellectual and spiritual lives.
We assist the diverse religious and spiritual communities on our campus to function vibrantly, help the School to live into our commitment to genuine religious pluralism, and support individual students through spiritual care, counsel, and direction, as well as referral to resources within and beyond the University which can assist them.
Throughout life, each person moves along the great continuum between Ultimacy and Intimacy. To live consciously and conscientiously along that journey is the very definition of spirituality; and authentic spirituality—regardless of religious tradition or lack thereof—issues in a zeal for justice, the habit of compassion, and a character firmly rooted in humility and love.
At HDS, we strive to inflect all our research, study, activism, and interactions—within our walls and beyond them—with that kind of authentic spirituality.
