How Chaplaincy works

 

  • We are not counsellors, but enjoy listening carefully to you without rush and sharing our own experience of life. We will keep your confidences.

  • We are not censorious or easily shockable; it is for you to develop your own moral judgements, not for us to judge you; we do acknowledge an ethical dimension to life

  • Atheists are as welcome as everyone else and we will work with whatever religious position you hold

  • We do not expect you to be religious or spiritual, but, to the extent that you want it, we will help you reflect on the spiritual dimension of your life, draw upon the wisdom of the world's religious traditions and offer opportunities for prayer, ritual and the sacraments

  • We shall try to help by being incredibly unhelfpul - being of little practical use, asking awkward questions, trying to find something to laugh at. Laughter is a great medicine

  • We encourage people to be thankful in life and to help others.
