Anna Chaplain needed for Crickhowell and Llangynidr
Anna Chaplaincy is a model of ministry to support older people in the community, extending pastoral and spiritual care beyond those in church congregations to anyone in their local community who would like spiritual care, wherever they may live.
Anna Chaplains support older people spiritually:
- They are community based (going where people are, to those in need)
- They make no distinction between church goers and non-church goers, those of faith or of no faith
- They may include family members, carers and care professionals in their care
- They are person centred and non-judgemental
- They work with churches in the local community (wherever possible)
