Chaplains are faithful ambassadors of Christ, lay, ordained, paid, and voluntary; they embody an understanding of mission which is about recognising God at work in the world and joining in.
The work of Chaplaincy continues to grow and flourish within the diocese. From hospitals, care homes, the emergency services, the law courts, police, the deaf and hard of hearing community, the military, schools, universities, prisons, the farming and agricultural community, LGBTQIA+ Community, town centres and shops, charities, businesses and more!
Chaplaincy Forum
In this diocese, we seek to support a variety of Chaplains who are exercising a vital ministry. The Chaplaincy Forum brings together those who coordinate chaplaincy in their particular sector. The Forum is co-ordinated by the Acting Bishop of Salisbury, Bishop Karen. Contact the Sherborne Office
