The Head Chaplain plays the lead role in helping to define, preserve, and promote the School’s Episcopal identity to all community members. Building on the Episcopal School ideals of inquiry, compassion, inclusion, and reason, the School Chaplain is a community builder. They work across school to coordinate the Chapel program that celebrates many paths to God, rather than specific religious formation. Importantly, our Chapel programming is intended to unify our broad community, which represents all faiths, as well as those of no particular organized faith background while simultaneously honoring individual community members’ religious identities. As a NAES school, St. Anne’s seeks to “strive for justice and peace among all people and [to] respect the dignity of every human being.”
