The New Chaplain

There are two parts to the duties of Rev. John Murray, our new chaplain.

As Student Chaplain and counsellor, he is available to all students, for assistance in all matters, not necessarily just religious ones. He is also Technical Consultant to the religious organisations.

Mr Murray was appointed by the National Council of Churches and represents all the Protestant Churches. He is definitely not attached to just one particular religious group in the University.

After obtaining an M.A. at Otago and another at Cambridge (where he married), he settled in Taihape. There he was Minister in the Presbyterian Church until his appointment to the University. As well as being Chaplain to the University, Mr Murray will serve the Teachers' Training College also.
