| How did it start? About 70 years ago clergy started going into work places as Chaplains, as part of the work of the Industrial Mission. Many people spend the majority of their active life in the workplace and it is there that they use key skills to develop important relationships, face challenges and real opportunities within their work situation. |
| Workplace Chaplaincies Chaplains can be from any denomination, lay or ordained and will work in places like the National Farmers Union Offices. Chaplains spend about one session per fortnight in the company or factory, but how this works out in practice depends upon the chaplain and the local management. |
Mission in the World of Work has vacancies for associate chaplains working with the emergency services, Police, Fire and Ambulance. It is good for the Church to have its representatives in the work place giving encouragement, support, and comfort when needed. |
