Religious and spirituality diversity at a multi-campus suburban university : what type of need for chaplaincy?

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    This article explores people's use of and need for religious and/or spiritual facilities, based on the findings from a survey sent to students and staff of a multi-campus suburban university. The results indicate that, in this context, people use facilities more for practising their faith/spirituality by themselves rather than to meet with others of similar beliefs. It also shows that a multi-faith pragmatic approach to religious diversity seems to match with student and staff needs.
