Canterbury is a group of students centered on community, ritual, healing, and social justice. While our group is sponsored by St. Augustine's Chapel 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!
