A Welcome from the Chaplain of the University On behalf of the Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life (OCRL), welcome to the life of the spirit at Brown University. OCRL's multifaith chaplaincy and religious life affiliates work to ensure that all beliefs find a home on campus. OCRL sponsors a number of interfaith initiatives to promote dialogue and understanding among Brown's many religious groups, including: Interfaith “Thursday” Supper—a weekly dinner tradition now in its forty-first year, with inspiring speakers and invigorating conversation. Multi-Faith Council—a coalition of student leaders from religious and faith communities on campus. Interfaith House—a residential space on campus to foster community, creative discussion, and interreligious dialogue. Please join us for these gatherings and our many worship services. You can find links to these initiatives on this website. The Reverend Janet Cooper Nelson, Chaplain of the University
