Chaplain's Note

College life is all about exploration: intellectually in the classroom   and library, socially at parties and in the residence halls - and any where else you are!  I hope college is also a time for you to explore spiritual things. 

There are tons of ways to do that at the University of the Pacific and in Stockton
You will probably never have a better opportunity to explore your own faith tradition, or those of your friends,  or to study religions you've only heard of, and even ones you've never heard of before now!
Ask questions and feel free to challenge what you learned growing up.  You may find new ways of living your convictions in the world, or new meaning in the tradition you already know

Check out the Interfaith organizations to see how they might help you ask big questions and find some answers.

Call, e-mail, or grab me on campus to talk about what you think matters most when it comes to the issues of faith, belief, and practice. I love meeting new people and I am eager to share in your journey.
