Contents:
Introduction; Religion in higher education in Britain since 1945; University faith communities: diversity, identity and rights; Chaplaincies: organisation, funding and staffing; Meeting student needs; Religion and the corporate life of universities: equal opportunities?; Student voices; Religion in higher education and public life: some conclusions; Appendices.
Summary: This title was first published in 2000. The place of religion in universities and institutes of higher education has become increasingly topical and contested in recent years, largely due to the growth of religious diversity on campus. Issues such as shared worship spaces, equal opportunities, and the management of inter-religious conflict, concern university administrators and students alike. Based on primary empirical research, this book indicates the need for clear guidelines on these issues and provides the data to inform policy-making. Offering the first study of the practical and sociological implications of the multi-faith campus, this book provides a context for examining some of the dynamics of religious diversity in Britain more generally as well as providing a useful analysis for the wider international context. Key themes covered include: religion in institutions; inter-faith relations; the changing roles of religious professionals; secularisation and resacralisation; and religion, youth and identity.
