Daily Worship
The chaplains for the 2023 season will represent intended theological, denominational, gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as ministerial context. The philosophy of the Department of Religion, from the beginning, has embraced and manifested the belief that an expression of these diversities is key to Chautauqua’s future.
