members of other faith communities. We can direct you to
local places of worship and to the two World Faiths’ Prayer
Rooms on site, the larger of which is located on Faringdon
Road and the smaller in the JSCSC.
What do we do?
We offer pastoral care to all personnel and their families
irrespective of status, nationality or religious belief. We
work to support the pastoral, spiritual and moral needs
of the whole community and enable the community to
practice its various faiths. Therefore, the Chaplains will
be seen around the Station in workplaces, community
centres and crew rooms. They are, of course, happy
to be invited to lectures, seminars and other events
– especially celebrations and beer calls; excellent for
everyone’s morale! Our visiting helps us to keep in touch
with what is current around the Station and to make a
unique contribution to the Shrivenham community.
Shrivenham Station and the Defence Academy are
very busy places full of challenges, both professional
and personal, and there may be occasions when
you feel the need simply to talk to someone about
what this experience is like for you, away from those
demands. Chaplains provide a Listening Ear where you
can talk through a problem in a safe environment and
comfortable surroundings. If we can’t help, we usually
know someone who can.
If you are thinking about marriage, baptism or confirmation
please contact a member of the Chaplaincy Team who will
be happy to help.
