牧师,杰西卡·奇卡博士

大学国际学生牧师

Jessica Chicka博士是波士顿大学国际学生的大学牧师。 她是美国福音派路德教会(ELCA)新英格兰会议的圣言和圣礼牧师,也是新英格兰会议委员会的神职人员代表。 作为大学牧师,杰西卡在大学期间陪伴着学生,帮助他们发现宗教和精神资源。 她帮助领导每周一次在马什教堂的跨宗派新教崇拜,并一对一地指导本科生和新濠影汇线上赌场研究生。 除了与国际学生一起工作,她还监督校园里的非基督教宗教学生组织,在大学里为他们辩护,并确保他们得到所需的支持。 Jessica is also a sustainability liaison for BU Sustainability, connecting her passion for environmental justice – the topic of her dissertation, God, Self, Humanity, Earth: Christian Ecological Ethics in Local Contexts – with her work at BU. Jessica earned three degrees from BU School of Theology – MTS (’07), STM (’11), and PhD (’19) and has the distinction of being the first recorded ordination at Marsh Chapel.
