Chaplaincy at Doane
The chaplaincy addresses "the culture of the heart," drawing students and other members of the community into dialogue with the following goals:
1) promote awareness of religious life on campus
2) provide support and encouragement to religious groups and traditions
3) offer opportunities for multi-faith experiences
The chaplaincy exists to encourage all forms of religious life and community which find expression at Doane, including worship services, religious music, observance of holy days, experiences of prayer and spirituality and discussion or speaker events on religious or ethical topics.
The chaplaincy will reflect an ecumenical style in development of services and programs that are consistent with the kind of religious pluralism found in the interest of the Doane community.
The chaplain will also be available for pastoral care with all members of the Doane community.
Community Service
The chaplaincy also supports volunteering for community service. This will happen within various religious and service communities in a concentrated way. The community services at Doane will offer service trips over spring break as well as campus-wide projects to raise funds and awareness for social justice/community service issues.
