WM FE Chaplains and Staff Gather

Last week it was great to meet with FE chaplains and college staff from across the region for a morning’s learning and sharing together in Birmingham.

The event, organised by FE Chaplaincy Ambassador Nigel Roberts, included sharing the findings of recent research on chaplaincy (by Dr Sarah Holmes of iCYM); an introduction to the value of pastoral supervision for chaplains by Libby Leech; and ‘School/College Pastors’ by Bejoy Pal of the Ascension Trust.

We hope to make this an annual event, so if you didn’t make it this time, please contact us to sign up for further news!
