HARVARD’S NEW CHAPLAIN

“Harvard’s chaplains have elected a new leader: Greg Epstein, an atheist. Harvard University, originally founded with a mission to educate clergymen in order to minister to New England’s early Puritan colonists, has a new chief chaplain. His name is Greg Epstein – and he is an atheist.

Epstein, author of ‘Good Without God: What a Billion Nonreligious People Do Believe,’ has been the university’s humanist chaplain since 2005 before being unanimously elected by his fellow campus chaplains as the university chaplains organization’s new president, the New York Times reported.
The 44-year-old, who was raised in a Jewish household, has been described as a “godfather to the [humanist] movement”, a secular, values-based philosophy that focuses on people’s relationships with each other instead of with God.
As Harvard University’s new chief chaplain, Epstein will coordinate activities of over 40 chaplains from more than 20 different religious, spiritual and ethical traditions.”

There are many things that I never expected to see in my lifetime and this is one of them.
