Harvard has a new chief chaplain — and he’s an atheist.
Greg Epstein, author of “Good Without God,” will be the new president of the organization of chaplains for Harvard, according to The New York Times. His election was unanimous.
For the role, Epstein will “coordinate the activities of more than 40 university chaplains, who lead the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and other religious communities on campus,” per The New York Times. He has already been mentoring students on campus and has worked as the school’s humanist chaplain since 2005, Newser reports.
