Faith and spirituality
The University of Westminster is a diverse community and is committed to overcoming perceived divisions and boundaries, promoting dialogue and understanding between all people, regardless of religious and other affiliations.
We have advisers from many religions with links to local communities in London.
Our advisers are available to anyone of any faith, offering hospitality and non-judgemental support, and providing pastoral care and spiritual counsel in times of ease or crisis. The advisers specialise in giving appropriate guidance through conversation or contemplation.
The Interfaith Adviser co-ordinates the team, enhances interfaith dialogue, and also provides specific support on Muslim issues. He also provides pastoral care and is available to do so out of hours too.
There are dedicated prayer and contemplation facilities across the University, as well as regular opportunities for reflection and discussion.
