Canterbury Circle is a group of students centered on community, ritual, healing, and social justice. While our group is sponsored by St. Augustine's and the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, our students come from college campuses across Nashville and we welcome members from any denominational or religious background.
all are welcome!
If you’re in undergrad or graduate school and would like to connect, reach out to Sarah Stell at sarah@staugustineschapel.org.
