Learning in the Chapel community

The chapel sponsors many opportunities for learning and study, including film series, lectures, Bible studies, and study/discussion groups.

This fall on September 21 and 22 there is a lecture series co‐sponsored by the Christian Reformed Campus Ministry at Dalhousie and the University Chaplaincy at King’s College, titled "Education and Reconciliation: Journeying toward deep reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Canada". The Guest Lecturer will be Mike Hogeterp, Director of the Christian Reforemed Centre for Public Dialogue. Read more!

There wil also be a fall retreat, and much more!

University is a time of learning -- and an ideal time to explore faith issues with your student peers. Keep a watch for several short study groups that we will have throughout this year.

Below you can read about events in previous years.

Last fall we had a set of visits to places of worship, a lecture series given by Dr. Kathleen Skerrett, a fall retreat weekend and more.

Praying with the World!

Do you think that religious persons believe basically the same things, but we pray differently? Or do you think that the various faiths have common forms of prayer but that their beliefs are very different? Perhaps you think that ritual in any form is dangerous? If a Muslim, have you witnessed Christians or Jews at prayer? If a Christian, have you been at Friday Muslim prayers or worship at a Hindu Temple?

This set of visits helped us to become more informed about how others pray!

Chapel Fall Retreat with Retreat Leader Dr. Stephen Blackwood

Date: October 15-17, 2010
Theme: 'Desire and the Intellect'

In fall 2010, the King's Chapel Fall Retreat wa held at Mersey River Nature Retreat Centre on Friday October 15th - Sunday, October 17th. The Fall Retreat is a great opportunity to experience the beauty of Nova Scotia's backcountry - step off the Quad and into Kejimkujik National Park. Led by King's Alumnus and this year's Chapel Theologian, Dr. Stephen Blackwood, the weekend centred around the theme of 'Desire and the Intellect'. There were various recreational activities available each day of the weekend.

All Chapel retreats are open to students of all faiths and traditions or none. All are welcome, all are invited!

A taste of earlier opportunities

Guest speakers have addressed subjects as diverse as the Christian perspective on global warming, local politics, peace in the Middle East, Christian peacemaker teams, the Catholic worker movement, convergence of faith in a pluralistic culture, the Christian solider in Afghanistan, the doctrine of co-inherence, etc.

Our Lenten Study Series in Easter term 2010 was held each Sunday at the Chaplain's home. Together we read through 'The Ladder of Divine Ascent' by John Climacus (6th Century).

Study and discussion groups explore many dimensions of faith. In the spring of 2008, a student group made an extended study of human sexuality. Throughout the academic year 2008-2009, we explored Saint John's Gospel with the help of a series of guest speakers.
