Saint Augustine's Chapel
This chapel is used for all our weekday services.
Its altar, furnishings, and name are taken from the University's first chapel. The stained glass windows depict the historic origins of the Episcopal Church and the university. The rose window contains a dove, representing the holy spirit, with the symbols of the apostles around it. In the wall to the right of the sanctuary is a historic stone from Lincoln Cathedral, England.
In the ceiling of the sanctuary is a carved corbel taken from the fourteenth-century abbey church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, Canterbury, England. The figure is a monk wearing spectacles. Inlaid in the altar is an altar stone from the reredos of Saint Paul's Cathedral, London. The Canterbury cross inlaid in the altar stone contains stone fragments from the ruined altar base in the ancient chapel of Saint Pancras, Saint Augustine's Chapel, Canterbury, England.
The altar and retable are from the original Saint Augustine's Chapel.
