Anna Chaplain for Brynmawr

Anna Chaplain needed for Brynmawr Area

Anna Chaplaincy to older people in the Brynmawr community has been developing over the last 2 years and so this role is already partly established. There is now an opportunity for someone new to continue the ministry in Care homes and to individuals who are isolated or lonely in Brynmawr in need of spiritual care.

Anna Chaplaincy is a model of Ministry to Older People in the Community, extending pastoral and spiritual care beyond those in church congregations to anyone in their local community who would like spiritual care, wherever they may live.

Anna Chaplains support older people spiritually:

  • They are Community based (going where people are, to those in need)
  • They make no distinction between church goers and non-church goers, those of faith or of no faith
  • They may include family members, carers and care professionals in their care
  • They are person centred and non-judgemental
  • They work with churches in the local community (wherever possible)

  • Develop community-based ways of building ministry and mission among older people in collaboration with churches in Brynmawr?
  • Explore strategies which celebrate the contributions of older people individually and in the community?
