The chaplains for the 2024 season will represent intended theological, denominational, gender, racial and ethnic diversity, as well as ministerial context. The philosophy of the Department of Religion, from the beginning, has embraced and manifested the belief that an expression of these diversities is key to Chautauqua’s future.

Father Gregory Boyle is the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang-intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world.
Born and raised in Los Angeles and Jesuit priest, from 1986 to 1992 Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles that also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city.
Fr. Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings.
In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life.
Fr. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Followed by Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship (2017) and The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness (2021). Most recently, he authored Forgive Everyone Everything, an anthology of writings accompanied by Fabian Debora’s artwork.
He has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame’s 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle’s vision and work by the organization for over three decades.
This program is made possible by The Edmond E. Robb-Walter C. Shaw Fund and The Lois Raynow Department of Religion Fund.

Richard and Kelly met in graduate school, so they fell in love debating theology and eating ice cream as a reward after an evening in the library. Kelly is the founder of OptUp consulting and is passionate about empowering momentum for organizations and noble causes. They have two adult children. One is a student at the University of Georgia, and the other attends Rich’s alma mater, Trinity University. Richard loves to read, to swim and run, and if you really want a great story, ask him about his hole-in-one in golf.

Rabbi Jonathan Roos
Sorry – this event has already ocurred. Click here to explore our upcoming events.
Rabbi Jonathan Roos is the Senior Rabbi at Temple Sinai in Washington, DC. Jonathan believes that being part of the congregation should change a person’s life. He strives to make a difference through teaching and learning with students of all ages, audacious social justice work, pastoral care, and meaningful worship.
Jonathan was ordained at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion in 2002 and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Maryland. He is a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and previously served congregations in Tinton Falls, NJ, and Albany, NY. Jonathan’s love for Judaism and Jewish community is founded on his family’s deep involvement in his childhood temple, great experiences in his youth group, and many amazing summers at Camp Bauercrest in Amesbury, MA. He credits an Episcopal priest as being the first person to suggest he become a rabbi. Jon is currently a member of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality’s Clergy Leadership Program and is learning to sing, meditate, and bring a more mindful and embodied joy to worship and his own spiritual practice.
Jonathan was a fellow in the Chautauqua Institution’s Interfaith New Clergy Program in 2009 and recalls, “The program had a lasting impact on my theological development and understanding of interfaith relationships and engagement. I am grateful and eager to return to Chautauqua in the chaplaincy role and quite honored to be able to preach and worship with the unique Chautauqua community once again.”

The Reverend Laura Everett
Sorry – this event has already ocurred. Click here to explore our upcoming events.
The Reverend Laura Everett serves as the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Council of Churches, focused on reconfiguring historic institutions for the inclusive, antiracist work of the 21st century. Ordained by the United Church of Christ, Laura is formed by many parts of the Church. She is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School and Brown University and serves as a regular teacher for Duke Divinity School’s Foundations of Christian Leadership Program. She’s also the co-host of the podcast “Can These Bones” with Bill Lamar, from Faith & Leadership. Laura is the author of “Holy Spokes: The Search for Urban Spirituality on Two Wheels,” and her writing has appeared in Religion News Service, the Christian Century, WBUR, GBH, and the Boston Globe. She is a co-founder and editor of Boston Women’s Sports, a new media venture to amplify excellent, equitable, and antiracist sports coverage. A moderately competent seamstress, mender, and textile artist, Laura aims to learn with her hands what she longs for in the word: repair. She believes the work of this moment is to notice and dismantle the racism that has divided this nation and the Church. She’s convinced that if we’re all not free, it isn’t the gospel truth. Laura lives in Boston with her wife Abbi, who has a far more interesting vocation as a public middle school Latin teacher.

Sorry – this event has already ocurred. Click here to explore our upcoming events.
A third-generation warrior for civil and human rights, The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III, has built his ministry on community advancement and racial and social justice activism. As Senior Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Ill., since 2008, Dr. Moss routinely preaches and practices a Black theology that unapologetically calls attention to the problems of mass incarceration, environmental justice, and economic inequality.
Dr. Moss’ latest book project, Dancing in the Darkness: Spiritual Lessons for Thriving in Turbulent Times, released in November 2022, has been lauded as a “life-affirming guide to the practical, political, and spiritual challenges of our day.” Utilizing the scholarship of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Howard Thurman, alongside biblical texts, a bevy of religious traditions, Black culture, and his own personal experiences, Dr. Moss offer up a methodology on performing spiritual resistance by uniting two pillars of his ministry: love and justice.
A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Dr. Moss is an honors graduate of Morehouse College who earned a Master of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Chicago Theological Seminary. Dr. Moss is an ordained minister in the Progressive National Baptist Convention and the United Church of Christ. In addition to his other ministerial duties, he also serves as chaplain of the Children’s Defense Fund’s Samuel DeWitt Proctor Child Advocacy Conference.
He is married to his college sweetheart, the former Monica Brown of Orlando, Fla., a Spelman College and Columbia University graduate. They are the proud parents of two creative and humorous young adults, Elijah Wynton and Makayla Elon.
