SUMMARY:Exploring Chaplaincy course

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

SUMMARY:Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse
DESCRIPTION:There is a requirement that the Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse Training course is completed by all clergy\, PTO\, Readers\, Bishop and Pastoral visitors\, Parish Safeguarding Officers\, PCC and lay chapter members. It is estimated that domestic abuse affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 7 men. Therefore\, we will all know people who are victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. \nThe aim of the module is designed to equip participants to engage thoughtfully and proactively with the issue of domestic abuse and those affected. \nWe recognise that not everyone will wish to complete modules online so we are also offering some face-to-face sessions. This might be a good way to ensure that people feel safe and supported when accessing the training\, particularly with this module. \nThis course will be run at Church House\, 5 Denmark Road\, Gloucester\, GL1 3HW \nTo book a place\, please email: ku.gro.coidsolg@gniniartgnidraugefas
