Across the diocese the ecumenical charities, Faith at Work in Worcestershire (FWW) and the Black Country Urban Industrial Mission (BCUIM) are keen to help churches extend their mission in their communities through workplace chaplaincy. They provide introductory training for new chaplains and offer support and guidance to chaplains and churches.
“God is in all things – in our work – commercial activity – in our daily lives. It is not just that God rocks up on Sunday, he is in every day of our lives and involved in all the things that we do. And chaplaincy is about helping people engage with that”. Paul Lawlor, Town Centre Chaplain, Redditch
