The Nature of the Chaplaincy
The City Centre Chaplaincy
- is a team of trained volunteer chaplains working on behalf of the City Centre churches, governed by the Board of Trustees and managed by the Lead Chaplains.
- is established by the Christian churches but with clear links and referral pathways to the other faith communities in the city;
- provides a professional and confidential service, with confidentiality only compromised where a person is believed to be in danger;
- is independent of businesses, unions or statutory agencies;
- expresses care and concern for the City Centre business community, irrespective of people’s faith or beliefs, and without preaching or proselytising.
