Begun with seed money from St. George's and Christ Church, St. Augustine's Episcopal Chapel has served the Vanderbilt community since the mid-1950s. In recent years, the chapel has become a vibrant place of worship and outreach not only for Vanderbilt, but also for the wider Nashville community. Unique in a campus setting, the intergenerational community encompasses ecumenism, community service, overseas missions and campus ministry.

Thanks to everyone who joined us this week for our bountiful Thistle Farming adventure! If you're interested in "farming" or helping us blend thistles to make pulp at the chapel, please email Deb Markland or call 322.4783.
