Chaplains
It is exciting to see a growing number of chaplains working in a wide range of institutions, companies and organisations in the Reading area.
Many people have heard of chaplains in the armed forces, universities and hospitals but there are now chaplains working in football clubs, supermarkets, council offices, department stores and fire stations – to name just a few places.
The role of a chaplain can vary slightly from location to location but usually a chaplain is …
- A friend to the organisation or company she or he is based in;
- A caring listening ear to whom people can speak with in confidence;
- Available for advice or help to direct a person somewhere else if it seems appropriate and helpful;
- Aware that people have emotional, spiritual as well as physical needs and can respond appropriately and with sensitivity;
If you have a need, please contact the chaplain at the place where you work.
If your place of employment does not have a chaplain then please email Churches Together in Reading who may be able to help you.
