Welcome to New College Chapel Everyone is welcome to our chapel services. We are an inclusive community and hope that the chapel provides a place where anyone can come for peaceful refl ection supported by our liturgy and music. The chapel ethos is expressed in this prayer by Bishop Thomas Ken, a fellow of the college in the seventeenth century:

O God, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and fellowship; narrow enough to shut out all envy, pride and strife. Make its threshold smooth enough to be no stumbling block to children, nor to straying feet, but rugged and strong enough to turn back the tempter’s power. God make the door of this house the gateway to thy divine kingdom. Amen.
