Duke University Chapel is constructed of stone from the Duke Quarry. The architecture is Gothic and the stained glass windows are simply beautiful. I really love the Chapel. It's a place to sit in solitude and ponder deep thoughts. I like the peace it gives me. I think James B. Duke would be pleased to hear that--he wanted the Chapel to have a presence and a deep impact on the spirituality of those who visited.
The Chapel exists for several faiths and is meant to serve the entire university. The Chapel is used for weddings, funerals, convocations, etc., in addition to worship services on Sunday. Rev. Billy Graham, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Reverend Charlene Kammerer, Rev. Dr. Peter Gomes, and Dr. Samuel Proctor have all preached at the Chapel. Musical performances have been given by the Duke University Chapel Choir include Handel's MESSIAH and other groups.
When you tour, you'll notice everything, but I encourage you to drink in the details of the spires, the windows, the stone statues, the architecture, the setting, and the Chapel itself (210'), against a blue sky. Note the Memorial Chapel, the organs, and everything that you can.
Some of the recurring events include University Service of Worship held each Sunday morning at 11:00. Services are ecumenical. Also offered at the Chapel are the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on Sundays, ecumenical service of evening prayer in the tradition of the Brothers of Taizé on Tuesdays, Choral Vespers by candlelight Thursdays (Choral music is provided by a twelve-voice a cappella ensemble), Chapel carillon and organ recitals, and much more.
If you have a direct affiliation to Duke University, you are privileged to attempt to have your wedding there. I saw attempt because the waiting lists are long and it's not always easy to get the site for your wedding.
I want to tell you more, but I think it's best if you just visit and walk around. You can read (in great detail) about the Chapel at http://www.chapel.duke.edu
