Chaplaincy
Rather than the Chaplains saying what they think they are, some students give their view -
‘The Chaplain always makes time to listen to me, even when I don’t really know what I’m talking about myself but when I need to talk anyway’ . Aoife, Third Arts
‘I think there has to be somebody in college who is on the staff but who is on our side – a sort of access point. Somebody who will speak for me and defend me when I am in trouble. I know when I am in the wrong and he does too but he will speak up on my side, like my father or mother would but I wouldn’t always tell them’. Evan, Second Electronic Engineering
