Ruth Dantzer took up the role of chaplain at Shawnigan Lake School in August 2024. During a period of transition, Ruth continued her work at UVic’s Multifaith Centre as a co-Anglican Spiritual Care Provider with Rebecca Yeo. Ruth also worked alongside retiring school chaplain Jim Holland for a period. In April, Ruth stepped aside from UVic entirely and will now be wholly focused on her role as chaplain at Shawnigan Lake School. Ruth served in the role of chaplain at UVic for 8 years.
Below are some photos of Ruth in her new role as chaplain at Shawnigan Lake School. You can read Ruth’s first sermon at the school, on the theme of belonging, on their website.
