Tuesdays in the Chapel

Every Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 8:50 a.m., the Chaplains at MIT invite all members of the MIT community into the Chapel for an interdenominational gathering to reflect, pray and meditate. The service, known as Tuesdays in the Chapel, features musical selections and guest speakers of all faiths.

"Tuesdays in the Chapel offers people the opportunity — at the beginning of the day, early in the week — to reflect and pause," says Robert Randolph, Chaplain to the Institute, who has organized the weekly gathering since September 2009. "One of the things I'm aware of, having been here for a long time, is that MIT people do not pause very often, so this is an institutionalized way to do that."
