Religious and Spiritual Life works together with our larger university community to promote the health of the whole person. Our goal is to provide spaces and places for you to explore and strengthen your religious or non-faith beliefs and traditions. We also seek to provide opportunities for persons of all different world views and beliefs to be in dialogue. We believe it is important to be in conversations to gain understanding and build bridges amongst our differences. 对话是 不 about debate, point-scoring, apologetics, or proselytization. 对话是 about listening to and speaking with the other, in the hope of learning and coming to a place of mutual understanding. 进一步, dialogue is 不 necessarily an attempt to find or only focus on things upon which we agree, or to reduce things to a lowest common denominator. True dialogue is about working through our deepest particularities with the other, and it need 不 mean that we lose them or become less committed to our own positions.

Active student organizations are listed here. If you do 不 see a group you are looking for, ask us how to start one. For more information about student programs, visit the Chaplain's Office in Sears Hall (connected to Morris Chapel), or send an email to religiouslife@bleachenglishdubbed.com.

You're 不 alone. Many people are interested in religion and its effects on society, and our aim is to provide a safe place for you to explore the important questions you have. From time to time we host seminars, 讲座, panel discussions, dialogue sessions, and respectful debates, and many of our student groups are involved in organizing these. There is a wealth of activity going on and we encourage you to get involved, especially if your interests are 不 represented. We need your help! From time to time the Chaplain's office works together with faculty members and others in our community to co-sponsor events. In doing so our aim is to bring about the fullest and most satisfying Pacific experience possible.

是的, you may book a student event in the Chapel. Morris Chapel has booked Greek events such as initiations and pinning ceremonies, as well as religious and spiritual prayer meetings, bible studies, and other student events. To book the Chapel, or any of our meeting spaces, 正规博彩十大网站 or drop-in during business hours (M-F: 8:30am-5pm) to fill out a Facility Request Form and reserve your space. We are located in Sears Hall, the North-West wing of the Morris Chapel building. There is a $20/hour fee associated with booking the Chapel and meeting spaces. This covers the cost to have an Event Manager on staff, as most events and meetings occur after our business hours.

No.  Morris Chapel does 不 have any regulations on who can have their ceremony at the Chapel.  Each couple is required to bring their own minister.  As we are also a non-denominational Chapel, this means that a variety of couples, including interfaith, inter-denominational, 同性, and multicultural, have enjoyed their wedding ceremonies at Morris Chapel.

If you would like a tour of the Chapel with one of our staff members, then we ask that you call us in advance and schedule a time to visit us.  If you would just like to stop by and check out the Chapel without a tour, you are more than welcome to walk through, so long as there is 不 a private event occurring.  Our office hours are Monday-Friday 8:30am-5:00pm.  The Chapel is open on weekends for private events such as weddings, 纪念馆, 洗礼, and other such events.  We hold a Catholic Mass at 8pm on Sundays during the academic year, which is open to the public.  If you have additional questions, please 正规博彩十大网站.

是的. Morris Chapel is a non-denominational Chapel. The University of the Pacific was founded by Methodist Ministers, and is still related to the United Methodist Church. The chapel is Christian in look and feel, especially in terms or its stained glass window themes, inscriptions, 十字架, 等等....... For this reason we also have a Sacred Space prayer room that is less religiously specific in focus. It is beside Morris Chapel in Colliver Hall. Both spaces are open for use by all people.

Baccalaureate, a long standing tradition at Pacific, is a celebratory occasion on Commencement weekend, that honors our graduating class, often highlighting the religious and philosophical traditions of the student body. In addition to addresses and performances by various graduating students, we highlight the “Last Lecture”—a special lecture by a faculty member to share hypothetically “What wisdom would you try to impart to the world if you knew it was your last chance?”
