Chaplaincy
Chaplains are professionally trained to offer care and support, regardless of ethnicity, gender or culture. We listen to people, show support to them in times of crisis or trauma, and help them process their grief and loss or traumatic experience. We are trained to maintain healthy boundaries and respect people’s spiritual views. We encourage exploration of people’s own beliefs and will pray when invited.
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.”
Micah 6:8
