Workplace Chaplaincy:
putting your faith into action.
Is God calling you to
let your Christian faith make a difference in the world of work and commerce? Do
you have a 2-3 hours per month to make a difference? If you are retired, does
your experience give you the gift of understanding and empathy for businesses
and those who work in them?
Workplace chaplains
make regular visits to the same places of work, usually once per month
(although this is severely disrupted currently due to the pandemic). These
could be shops, offices, or any place of work which welcomes a chaplain.
Through regular visits, the chaplain learns about the business and its challenges
and gets to know the staff. The chaplain listens, offering whatever support they
can, to everyone they meet, regardless of their faith background. They are
motivated by their own Christian faith and respond to the love of Jesus by
sharing that care for those in the workplace.

Training for New
Workplace Chaplains
For those who wish to
become workplace chaplains, maybe after attending the Discover Chaplaincy
Taster Event, we will be running the INTRODUCTION TO WORKPLACE CHAPLAINCY
COURSE which consists of six 90-minute sessions held on Wednesday
afternoons from 2.00 – 3.30 p.m. starting on Ash Wednesday, February 17th and
concluding on March 24th, just before Palm Sunday. This can be used as a way of
exploring a calling to be a workplace chaplain, and again with no obligation on
either side. To book a place on the Introduction to Workplace Chaplaincy Course
