The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard: The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard was founded three decades ago by former Catholic priest Tom Ferrick. The vision of the Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard is to develop a flourishing community that, without supernaturalism, affirms the ability and responsibility of all of us to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
