In this centennial year, we mark homecoming weekend and the founding of Duke University with this festive worship service celebrating the university's historic motto, Eruditio et Religio ("Knowledge and Religion"), and deep roots of faith. Leaders from The Duke Endowment, Duke Divinity School, Duke Chapel, and the broader University will be joined by representatives from the Duke family, the Duke Chapel Choir, the Durham Children's Choir, the Amalgam Brass, pianist and vocalist Patrice Turner, bassist John V. Brown, and others as we lift our voices in prayer and song. Chapel Dean Luke A. Powery will deliver the sermon. The service promises to bring all the joy of Easter to a Sunday in September.A reception on Abele Quad will follow the service.
