THE CHAPEL
The Chapel provides a sacred space at the heart of the College for all members of Selwyn College and
Newnham College to use as a place of prayer and reflection. The Chapel is open to all from early in the
morning until late at night, and unless a service is taking place, silence is kept between 12:00noon and
1:00pm each day during Full Term. In addition to Sunday services, daily prayers are offered morning and
evening on weekdays. Requests for prayer can be written on the intercessions board in the ante-chapel.
The Dean of Chapel and Chaplain, Hugh Shilson-Thomas, is a priest in the Church of England. He is
available to all members of College in confidence to lend a listening ear, provide support and engage with
those exploring their spiritual lives. He can also put members of faiths other than Christianity in touch
with their own faith communities. The Assistant Chaplain, Brett Gray, also a priest, is Chaplain at
Newnham College as well.
The Gosden and Frost Scholars and Ordinands on attachment are graduate students at Selwyn
training for ordained ministry in the Church of England who undertake various duties in the Chapel.
Others, detailed below, are among those who support the ministry of the Chapel in a variety of ways.
