In addition to housing the chaplaincy and student religious organizations, Cochran Chapel is home to the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, choral and orchestral groups, the Community Service program and all-school meetings. Renovated in 1998 with a generous gift from David M. Underwood '54, Cochran Chapel was re-dedicated Oct. 16, 1998.

The interfaith ministry of Andover seeks to be
responsive to the spiritual needs of the school. While we represent the
Protestant, Roman Catholic and Jewish traditions, we assist students,
whatever their background, in meeting their religious needs.
Each week, the religious communities gather for both worship and fellowship,
with times and places published in the school's weekly bulletin. Major
occasions of the religious year, Yom Kippur, Easter, Ramadan, for example,
may be celebrated on campus or through the hospitality of surrounding
communities. In addition, we celebrate our common heritage and values
in special services, especially at Thanksgiving, Veterans Day, Memorial
Day and Baccalaureate. The chaplains also encourage the school community
to recognize needs placed before all of us: concerns of hunger, peace
and justice.
Various traditions are represented by student clubs, including Christianity
Happening in Living Life (Protestant), Catholic Student Fellowship (formerly
Newman Club), Jewish Student Union, United Muslim Association, Hindu Student
Union, Quaker Meeting and the Andover Interfaith Round Table. These organizations
offer a variety of programs for the enrichment of their members and the
whole school. There are opportunities for other groups to form.
Sincerely,
Rev. Toni DiPina , Associate Protestant Chaplain
Rev. Michael Ebner, Protestant Chaplain
Hannah Goldstein, Ezra Fellow for Jewish Community
