The Chapel of the Cross

The Chapel of the Cross Located in Chapel Hill, we are a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina.

In the midst of the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the parish has ministered to the university, the local community, the diocese, and beyond since its founding in 1842. Its people dedicate themselves to the worship of God, to seeking and witnessing to God's active presence and grace in the world, to serving those most in need, to forming themselves into faithful servant

s of God through intentional education, and to the joyful stewardship of their individual and communal resources.

This week, a team of twelve high schoolers and six adults is traveling to Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham for what we hope will be a transformative week of learning and service. We invite you to pray with us throughout the week:

Creator God, who made us in your image: Through your Son Jesus Christ, you have commanded us to love one another. Through Baptism, you have called us to strive for justice and peace, respecting the dignity of every human being. We pray now for these youth and adults who seek to live into this call as pilgrims on the way of racial healing. As they embark on this sacred journey, give them open minds and hearts, that they might listen, learn, and serve with curiosity and compassion. Give them wisdom to discern your vision for the world, and courage to name where and how we’ve fallen short. Give them conviction to strive for restoration and repair. May they know, in good moments and hard ones, that they are deeply loved, and may they return to us safely. And may you continue to companion us all in the hard work of building your Kingdom. Amen.

Parishioners of the Chapel of the Cross are often reminded of the work and life of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, as their family story interweaves with our parish history through many years, culminating in Murray’s first Communion celebration in 1977.

Recently there have been several reminders of Murray’s legacy around our community that we wanted to share with you.
