Earlier this spring, Student Council requested that a pride flag be displayed permanently outside the Chapel, as a way to support 2SLGBTQAI+ students in feeling safe in a religious space.

In collaboration with Grebel alum Shirley Grove (BA 1992), this beautiful new stain glass piece now hangs in the Chapel foyer.

We encourage visitors to take a moment to admire the piece and reflect on its meaning together.
