Facing
the water fountain in the center of campus, Greene Chapel hosts weekly and
special worship services throughout the year, as well as the Hendrix Choir’s
Candlelight Carol Service each December. It is also used frequently for
weddings of Hendrix alumni and community members. The ceiling design and beam
layout in Greene Chapel are designed to resemble a sailing ship; the body of
the Chapel is called the nave (from navis, the Latin word for ship). The design
echoes the ancient view that the Church is a ship carrying the faithful on
life’s journey from this world to the next. Greene Chapel ranked #5 on a list
by theologydegrees.com of the 50 Most Amazing College Chapels and Churches.
