SUMMARY:Exploring Chaplaincy course
DESCRIPTION:Have you every wondered about being a chaplain? \n \nThese days there are chaplains in all sorts of places\, not just in hospitals and prisons. There are chaplains in primary schools\, GP surgeries\, town centres\, workplaces\, care homes\, law courts\, and even racecourses. You might be able to think of a possible chaplaincy opportunity near you. \nSome chaplains are paid\, but many are volunteers\, giving perhaps just one afternoon a week. Some are ordained\, but many are lay people. You don’t have to be an expert in anything to be a chaplain. You don’t need to be a super confident evangelist. You just need to be able to come alongside other people where they are\, showing God’s love through your listening and your care. \nExploring Chaplaincy is a course for people who want to think about this often-overlooked ministry. Could it be for you? Might there be an opportunity to develop chaplaincy from your church\, in your parish? The course is both for people who are already involved in chaplaincy and also for those just beginning to consider the possibility. \n  \nThe six meetings of the course will cover: \n\n What is a chaplain? What is distinctive about chaplaincy\n Don’t just do something  The importance of presence\n The cloak of compassion  Pastoral care and being prophetic\nTwo ears and one mouth  Listing to people\, listening to place\n Say one for me  The spirituality of chaplaincy\n Where we you go from here?  First steps\, support\, and supervision\n\nThe course is free. \nIt will run from Wednesday 14 January to Wednesday 25 February (with a break on 18 February) between 7.15pm – 9.15pm\, meeting at Francis Close Hall in Cheltenham. \nTo access the booking form before 14 January please click here \nFor more information please contact Simon Witcombe switcombe@glos.ac.uk
