Why do we have a Club Chaplain?

Thank you for the response Paul.  Please thank Hazel on our behalf.

What an excellent post from both G7(facillitating duties) & rev'd Hazel. Thankyou both for taking the time. For me personally it is an eye opener as I never knew of this role in life generally let alone CC specific, yup, everyday is a School day. You obviously do your duties well & selflessly. It is a pleasure to know of you both. Fascinating. Thanks again.

Thank you Rev Hazel and welcome to CT via Paul.

Yes, thanks very much for coming on.

Nice to hear from the Priest herself.

Thank you Hazel for joining in this discussion and explaining your duties so eloquently. 

I wish you well in your work.

I echo the sentiments here, thanks for explaining the role of a Chaplain within the Club, regards

Thankyou both for taking the time to post. Rev Hazel, you've explained a lot and it's been an eye opener for me. I feel it's a shame CC have failed to publicised your role as, not only did we not know what you did, we didn't know of your existence. They should raise your profile. Thanks again for enlightening us.

Hi one and all.

Thanks for your replies and comments, all of which 'er indoors' has read and appreciates. As said, I have rarely dibbed into CT, however I'll perhaps drop by more. Nice to see DSB on here, I used to enjoy David's contributions on another forum I frequent.

Best wishes to you all and with any luck we might meet up at either the National or similar event maybe .. we'll be in the beer tent

It's been ages since I've taken an active part on UKCS, Paul.  I find it virtually impossible to contribute to more than one forum, and as I was asked to be a Champion on CT, this is where I come these days.   Good to hear from you.  Do keep in touch.

I've found this an interesting thread, though somewhat from an outsider's point of view, being both a non-Christian and an active member of my own faith.

It's a pity that the CC hasn't publicised this particular post and its incumbent as people who may have been in need of the services of a chaplain at stressful times haven't been aware that we had one. Even an official email address provided via the Club would be a good start.

I'm far more aware of the role of military chaplains as a friend to all and of police chaplains who can deploy to incidents to be a listening friend. Sometimes that is all a person needs in a stressful situation and a Club Chaplain who could provide that to members in a stressful situation (for instance where someone has taken seriously ill or injured on site) would be a boon.
