The cost is $12 per person.

Please join us for a Special Reception on Monday evening with Dean L. Gregory and the Reverend Susan Pendleton Jones. We will gather in the Duke Chapel courtyard immediately following the 5:30 p.m. worship service.

All are invited to a brief demonstration and recital of the new Richards, Fowkes, & Co. pipe organ in Goodson Chapel on Monday at 6:45 p.m. with an opportunity to examine it close-up afterwards.

Sign up for the Convocation Celebration at noon on Tuesday. Don’t miss this opportunity to visit with friends, meet new colleagues, and mingle with divinity school faculty during this casual luncheon.

The cost is $12 per person.

Experience Daily Worship in Duke Chapel as an integral part of Convocation & Pastors’ School. Join us for Morning Prayer in Goodson Chapel on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Continuing Education Seminars will be offered on Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Relish this opportunity for small-group learning with Duke faculty, invited guests, and colleagues. Space in seminars is limited, so be sure to register early.
