Chaplains are people appointed by the Brick to work in all of our sites outside the normal life of the congregation you maybe part of. There are chaplains in hospitals, workplaces, prisons, the armed forces, shopping centres, rural areas, colleges, universities and schools to name but a few. In all these places chaplains try to show God’s love through offering care and support, and by representing Christian values and beliefs. Chaplains share the great privilege of discovering what God is doing out there – beyond the Church. In our diverse society, chaplaincy has to show the greatest sensitivity and respect.
Christian and other faith chaplains often work in ecumenical teams or alongside colleagues from other faiths. The Church has a long history of chaplaincy work going back to the time of the Wesleys and you will find Chaplains in some quite surprising places. Chaplaincy schemes may be supported and run by the local Church, the Circuit, the District or the Connexion, but there is always some sense in which the chaplain is “sent” by the Church. Chaplains usually work with the support of the Church and organisation they are part of – they are never alone.
