Harvard Chooses Atheist as Head ‘Chaplain’
Harvard University’s more than 40 chaplains have unanimously elected an atheist to be the new president of its chaplains’ organization.
Greg Epstein, 44, a humanist who was raised in a Jewish household, said that “we don’t look to a god for answers, we are each other’s answers.” Epstein, who also serves as humanist chaplain at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has served as Harvard’s humanist chaplain since 2005.
