Harvard appoints 'athiest' as president of university chaplains - not everyone is happy
Fox News
Harvard University has appointed a new chaplain who brings a fresh perspective to the role – as an atheist.
The chaplains argue that a man with no clear religious affinity makes Epstein the perfect candidate to organize the various religious group activities across the campus. As the president of the organization, Epstein will organize the more than 40 university chaplains from Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and other religious communities. "There is a rising group of people who no longer identify with any religious tradition but still experience a real need for conversation and support around what it means to be a good human and live an ethical life," Epstein told The New York Times. "We don’t look to a god for answers," he added. "We are each other’s answers."More Related News
