Chaplaincy

During your time as a student or employee at Glyndŵr University you will encounter many issues that make you think more deeply about some of life’s big issues (e.g. God, the nature of the universe, racial harmony or vegetarianism). A chaplain is there to help you to think about these issues and to generally promote interest in the more spiritual side of life. In addition, a higher education chaplain (like a hospital chaplain) is there to offer the opportunity for support in any difficult times that arise for you during your time at university.

The Chaplain at Glyndŵr University is Janice Jones, who works ecumenically with those of other Christian denominations and encourages other faith communities and all staff and students to explore the spiritual dimension of life. For occasions where you specifically need to see a member of your faith group, there are people known as Faith Advisors there to help you.

The Chaplain can also offer pastoral counselling and will welcome those of any faith or none. There is no requirement to discuss specifically religious matters; pastoral support from a chaplain is as religious as you choose to make it and is offered in a non-judgemental manner.

The Chaplaincy holds regular worship meetings, which are advertised on noticeboards and the student intranet.
