Episcopal Center at Duke: Celebrating 50 Years

written on July 2nd, 2009

2009 marks the 50th anniversary of the Episcopal Center at Duke in its current location at 505 Alexander Avenue!  

We have been busy updating our physical space to provide a more welcoming place for students to come and relax.  The Center now has wireless internet, we have spruced up the inside, and the exterior has been painted.  Chairs on the front porch and the bench in the garden provide a great space to relax on cool Fall days.  Hot chocolate, coffee and fresh cookies will be available for students who want to drop by and take a break or have a place for quiet study.

The Episcopal Center at Duke will continue our rich traditions in our life of worship and service.  All students, faculty and staff are invited to make our space a “home away from home.”  Feel free to contact the interim Chaplain, the Rev. Karen C. Barfield at kclaybarfield@gmail.com or 286-0624 with any questions or concerns.

The Rev. Nils Chittenden, the new chaplain at the Episcopal Center, is still in process of getting his religious worker’s visa approved, and his arrival has been delayed until the end of 2009.  We look forward to welcoming him into our community when he arrives. 

Please come back and visit our website – events and news will continue to be posted.  Make sure to visit our “calendar” for the most up-to-date postings.

Shalom,

Karen+
