Hospitals Offer Interfaith Meditation Rooms

I am thrilled to see this article about hospitals providing meditation rooms suitable for interfaith prayer.  These are designed for peaceful atmosphere and they have some materials for various different religions; the space is easy to organize for any particular style of prayer or meditation. 

I hope that there will also be contact information available for clergy of different faiths, or that they'll have a staff chaplain who can handle diverse traditions.

Interfaith chapels are becoming more and more common in Canadian institutions, including universities and airports. For example, the University of Victoria's Pagan group, Thorn and Oak, holds many of its ceremonies in or on the grounds of UVic's beautiful interfaith chapel. ('Course, UVic also boasts its own Wiccan Chaplain as part of its interfaith support.)
