Broadcast Service to Celebrate Forty Years of Shared TCD Chapel
A special Ecumenical Service of the Word will be broadcast on RTE 1 Television on the morning of Sunday 30 June to mark the fortieth anniversary of the ecumenical sharing of the Chapel at Trinity College Dublin.
The service, led by the TCD Dean of Residence the Revd Darren McCallig and the TCD Chapel Choir, will commemorate the 1973 decision by the then Archbishop of Dublin, Alan Buchanan, to rededicate the College Chapel so that it could be used for worship by all Christian Churches. It was the beginning of a unique ecumenical chaplaincy arrangement in TCD which continues to this day.
The service will be broadcast on RTE 1 Television at 11.00am on Sunday 30 June and will also be available for a limited time on the RTE player.
