What's New with BSAP
Everyone
Has a Role in
Chapel
Chaplain Stephanie Jenkins
I
'm proud that there was a small group of
Episcopalians who were at the core of the
dream of Bishop Seabury over 20 years ago,
and I recognize and value that Episcopalians
are a minority of the faith tradition represented
here. As Dr. Schawang shared during our faculty
workshop, I too believe the Episcopal Church
has a unique way of approaching faith. As an
Episcopal priest, I am rooted in the specifics;
however, there are broad principles that I believe
can reach beyond.
My view related to chapel is that everyone has a
role. Maybe your role is to sit and be present or
to read a lesson. Maybe you receive a blessing
at communion. Either way, I want you to engage
with chapel as you feel is authentic to you.
What is most important is that you are present
as a member of the community. My hope is that
chapel on Wednesday morning is a contemplative
space to look inward and be nurtured so that we
can then turn and look outward together.
While I have ideas and thoughts about how to
approach leading chapel and serving as chaplain
at Bishop Seabury, I'm really feeling my way
into and through this role. In all of this, I'm
coming to understand more deeply the culture
and history of Bishop Seabury. It's out of that,
I can help foster and develop chapel experiences
and pastoral relationships that are integrated and
representative of the community and connect
with the community's needs, so please reach out!
