World Faiths
The chaplaincy at York is for anyone, regardless of their faith tradition. We work closely with all the student faith societies (see the 'Faith Societies' page for more details of these) but it is very important to us that they are run by students, for students, rather than by the chaplains.
The university maintains a range of spaces for prayer and meditation on campus. As well as the Quiet Place, near Heslington Hall, there are multi-faith prayer rooms in Wentworth College and the Ron Cooke Hub, and a designated Muslim prayer room in the Teaching Block in Alcuin College, where Friday prayers take place in term time.
We are always happy to assist students of any tradition to make contact with local faith communities, but we recognise that it is not always appropriate for a student of another faith to have to approach a Christian chaplain for the information they need. The University's Student Support Service maintains a full list of contacts for major world faiths in York. To access the list, use the link below.
