The chapel is unique among Oxford colleges because it has no religious affiliation - reflecting the non-sectarian foundation of the college as place for the higher education of women.[1] It can be seen as both a manifestation of the aspirations of liberal Christianity in the interwar years, including the advancement of women and ecumenism, and of the contestation of the role of religion in higher education among elites in the same period. The chapel is made of dimension stone ashlar masonry and is located opposite of Somerville College Library, at the southern side of the main quadrangle. When he visited the chapel in the early 1970s, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner described it as bleakly classical, ashlar, of three windows with narrower altar and lobby protections, bleak also inside - unloved-looking somehow.[2] HistoryThe chapel was built with a donation from Somerville alumna Emily Georgiana Kemp in 1932, who had developed an interest in the world’s religions and a wide, inclusive vision of Christianity through her extensive travels around the world. It was Kemp's desire that the chapel would be a place where members of all nationalities and religions could pray. Like the college, the chapel would be undenominational, which is unique within the University of Oxford. The chapel was designed by Courtenay Theobald and opened in 1935. It was dedicated to God, with only the stained glass window (designed by George Bell) being dedicated to Christ explicitly.[3] On the outside of the chapel, the Greek inscription ΟΙΚΟΣ ΠΡΟΣΕΥΧΗΣ ΠΑΣΙ ΤΟΙΣ ΕΘΝΕΣΙΝ translates as A House of Prayer for all People. This is a verse from the Isaiah 56, which is referred to by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. Kemp also donated a 19th century Italian terracotta derived from the 'Annunciation lunette' in the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence, by Andrea della Robbia, the subject of which was symbolic to her of the special importance of women in serving God.[3] Notable Somervillians commemorated on the chapel's wall are Constance Coltman, Britain's first ordained female minister in a mainstream church[4] and Dorothy L. Sayers, the novelist and Christian apologist. UseThe chapel does not have a chaplain but a Chapel Director due to the undenominational tradition of the college. The current Chapel Director is Brian McMahon. In addition to providing opportunities for traditional Christian worship and in keeping with the college's liberal and inclusive tradition, the chapel hosts speakers with a range of religious perspectives. Past invited speakers include Alister McGrath, Shirley Williams, Kallistos Ware, Andrew Copson and Rosamund Bartlett.[5] There's an annual commemoration service for Somervillians who have died during the year.[3] The Choir of Somerville College sings in the chapel. OrganThe organ of the chapel is made in 1937 by Harrison & Harrison in Durham.[6] Nobel prize winner and Kemp's friend Albert Schweitzer was the chapel's organ advisor and recommended a Neo-Baroque organ, as this style was popular in the Organ reform movement from the Alsace. However, the college voted for an organ from the Romantic era. The organ case is made of oak, designed by Theobald, and was renovated in 2012. The chapel also houses a C. Bechstein piano, two harpsichords by Robert Goble and a portable digital piano.
