Anna Chaplaincy is a ministry offering person-centred spiritual care for older people. Anna Chaplains can be lay or ordained, male or female, and in paid or voluntary roles. Some have been in lay ministry roles for a while (as authorised lay ministers or Readers), others are ordained, but for some Anna Chaplaincy is their first ministry role.
Anna Chaplaincy in the Diocese of 黑料网 is affiliated to The Bible Reading Fellowship; there are now Anna Chaplains in each of our archdeaconries.
