The chaplaincy at Lewis & Clark College is designed to support all religious life programs that take place on campus, and has its roots in the Presbyterian heritage of the college. Recognizing the religious diversity of the Lewis & Clark community, the Dean of the Chapel seeks to facilitate moral and spiritual dialogue and growth in a context of mutual support. As Dean of the Chapel, the Rev. Mark Duntley directs and facilitates a variety of programs for students focusing on spiritual and moral issues. Students help plan and lead many of these activities, including regular chapel services, special forums and lectures, small-group studies, spiritual renewal retreats, and volunteer community service projects. An Interfaith Council meets regularly in order to facilitate dialogue between faith groups and to provide religious life programming and policy recommendations. Rev. Duntley also is available for religious, crisis, and grief support and counseling.
Sr. Loretta Schaff, O.S.F. serves part-time on the chapel staff as the Adjunct Catholic Chaplain. She organizes and facilitates regular Catholic Eucharist in Agnes Flangan Chapel, the monthly Taizé prayer at the South Campus Chapel, and a number of other programs. While her work focuses on serving the needs of our Catholic students and staff, the Adjunct Catholic Chaplain works ecumenically with the Dean of the Chapel and with the various student religious groups on campus. A schedule for celebrations of weekend Eucharist in nearby Catholic parishes is provided in the following Eucharist Schedule. Please contact Sr. Loretta for further information or go to the Newman Club web page.
There are a number of religious life groups on campus that serve the spiritual needs of students. Along with the chapel programs coordinated by the Dean of the Chapel, there is the Agape Group (Campus Crusade for Christ), the Roman Catholic group (Newman Club), the Jewish Student Union, the Wildwood Pagan Student Group, Zen Sangha (Zen Buddhist Meditation Group), the Unitarian Universalists, and the Christian Science Group. Students from a number of other traditions (including Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim) do not maintain a formal student group, but organize activities and meetings on an occasional basis. For further information please contact the chapel office by phone or request information using the Chapel_Response_Form.

The chapel's impressive contemporary lines and distinctive conical shape incorporate a strong Northwest Coast Native American influence, and are the design of architect Paul Thiry. The Wallace Howe Lee Memorial Bridge, leading from the roadway to the chapel entrance, is flanked by sculpted figures of the four evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). Chief Lelooska of the Cherokee tribe designed these figures which combine ancient Christian symbolism with the symbolism of the Northwest Coast Native American people.
The beautiful interior of the chapel features a magnificent Casavant organ, seating for 650 people, and stained glass windows which depict the creation story as told in the book of Genesis. The Casavant organ has 85 ranks and most of the almost 5,000 pipes are suspended in the center of the chapel from the pinnacle of the chapel ceiling. The stained glass windows were designed and crafted by Gabriel Loire of Chartres, France, an artist renowned for his work worldwide.
Agnes Flanagan Chapel is used regularly for worship services, lectures, concerts, musical performances, memorial services, and weddings. The Chapel Office is located downstairs.
