FRIENDS OF DUKE CHAPEL Academic & Liturgical Year Calendar 2015-2016
Duke Chapel is home to an interdenominational Christian community formed by the life and ministry of Jesus. Its faithful preaching and inspiring music are shaped by the neo-gothic architecture, thoughtfully engaging history and tradition with flexibility and creativity. Its vibrant worship strives to educate and integrate the whole person head, heart, and hands. From this Christian perspective, the Chapel recognizes the unique offering of Jesus Christ: For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made separate groups into one, and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us... he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near... So then you are no longer strangers... but members of the household of God. ephesians 2 Following the example of Christ, the Chapel aims to be a church without walls. Just as Christ broke down the wall that divides humankind from God, the Chapel hopes to bridge all people to God s reconciling love. This restoration year calendar was designed to invite you inside Duke Chapel during the year the nave is closed for ceiling repair, wood and window refinishing, and roof replacement. The large images speak to the majestic expanse of the space, with special detail given to the intricate artistry of the Chapel s woodwork and limestone; while the smaller images remind us that this building is filled with people who embody the mission and ministry of Duke Chapel. Through worship, student ministry, community connection, interfaith engagement, and the arts, Duke Chapel stands as a beacon of Christian hope that bridges faith (religio) and learning (eruditio). May we continue to bridge the differences that divide humanity, reconciling us to God and to one another. In hope, Luke A. Powery,
I want the central building to be a church, because such an edifice would be bound to have a profound influence on the spiritual lives of the young men and women who come here. JAMES B.
