Memorial Chapel | University of Maryland
Info
Dedicated on October 6th 1952, the non-denominational and picturesque Memorial Chapel stands in honor of members of the University of Maryland community who lost their lives serving our country in the United States Armed Forces. An icon at the University of Maryland, the Memorial Chapel stands as a symbol of unity and serenity. The location of about 1200 activities a year, the doors are open annually to more than 80,000 visitors of all faiths, cultures and walks of life.Serving as the center for religious life for the campus, the Chapel is also a great venue for lectures, concerts, services, convocations, commencement ceremonies, and weddings. The non-denominational facility has much to offer to our on- and off-campus communities. Activities in the Chapel need not be religious in nature, but all must be the type of event that respects the integrity of a place of worship.
While many students look to the future as they receive their degree at the many commencements ceremonies held here each year, hundreds of alumni return to the Memorial Chapel to exchange wedding vows. Throughout the academic year students, faculty and staff are invited to lectures that often feature such prominent leaders such as Senator John McCain, Governor Robert Ehrlich, Senator Joseph Tydings and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
Year round the Memorial Chapel Carillon, which can be heard across campus, rings the school's Alma Mater, inviting the campus and surrounding community to enjoy concerts, tours and join in worship. Surrounding the Memorial Chapel are gardens and courtyards that provide the community with a place to relax and reflect in the midst of a 1200 acres campus bustling with activity. Being a non-denominational facility, worship services at Memorial Chapel are as varied as the 14 faith communities represented by the University of Maryland Chaplaincies. For more information on religious life and worship times please contact these campus ministries directly at www.chapel.umd.edu/chaplains.

Information
The Kay Spiritual Life Center has been an integral part of the campus since its dedication in 1965 and has served as a place where the entire community could, regardless of faith, gather for worship, fellowship, meditation, prayer and the exchange of ideas. The defining character is an a priori welcome to people of all faiths. This ethic of hospitality extends beyond the borders of organized religion and extends to all who are interested in exploring the deeper yearnings of the spirit. It is rooted in an understanding that there is power in living in a diverse environment where people of all creeds and beliefs are invited to share in the experience of a shared affirmation of our common humanity. The witness of the Kay Center is that how we live is just as important as what we believe. The late theologian William Sloane Coffin captures this ethos best when he said that “The integrity of love is greater than the purity of dogma.”Our differences in belief and practice are celebrated and affirmed Our chaplains are Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Hindu, Baha’i, Muslim, Unitarian Universalist, Sikh and all exercise particular callings for wholeness of spirit and health of body. The religious activity generated by this vastness is both particular and radically inclusive.
In addition the Kay Center provides a setting for a host of programs that invite people to probe the moral dimensions of the great social, political and economic issues confronting the city, the nation and the planet. Grappling with core concerns of equity, fairness and justice provides a transformational metaphysic that can lead to new dimensions of disclosure about self and the world – guiding everyone involved toward greater fullness of life in all its glory and mysteries
In both daily interactions and in occasions of great purpose and ritual, the Kay Center serves to remind us all of the essential foundation of our human connectedness and therein lies its special quality. It is the place to which people come in times of celebration, joy, sadness and suffering. It was to the Chapel that immediately after the tragedy of 9/11 people from all over the campus spontaneously gathered.
On the south side of the quad stands the Bender Library and the Kay Center secures the north side. Together they form the intellectual and spiritual anchors that bind the campus community together. The 16-foot impressionist flame atop the Center evokes responses as diverse as the university itself, but is always pointing toward the search for ultimate meaning. Kay Center’s sacred space is not only integral to this university; it is also a place where the university encounters itself and its Creator.
