Anna Chaplaincy help at hand with new Easy Guides

Anna Chaplaincy is adding all the time to its Easy Guides on a whole host of issues people confront in ministry and when volunteering in church and community settings.

For example, one of the latest gives top tips for when ‘Praying with an older person’, and is written by Rev'd Sally Bates who works among older people in Frinton, Essex. Each guide is short and to the point, just two sides of A4, and with plenty of bullet points and guidance as to further reading and resources.

They’re all written by members of the Anna Chaplaincy network and other experts linked to its work among older people, who bring years of experience when it comes to pastoral matters.

There are now 10 Easy Guides to choose from. The other new one, just published this week, is on ‘Recruiting and equipping volunteers to build relationships with individual care home residents’. Tina English has written this one, as she’s the founder of Embracing Age, who run the Care Home Friends programme.

Each Easy Guide is free to download from its website.
