Abstract

University chaplaincy has undergone significant change in recent times as universities have been impacted by global events as well as cultural shifts and forces in the tertiary education sector. This article reflects on my experience as a Christian chaplain in two large civic universities in New Zealand and Scotland. It explores the disruptions and opportunities of this period of instability in those contexts and how these might concretely inform the practise of ministry with students and staff.
