WMC: January 2017
25 people attended this Circuit event held at Wantage Methodist Church on Saturday 28th January.

From St. Martin of Tours, to modern day chaplains in airports, town centres, and shopping centres, we looked at the work of chaplains.

All this of course was set in the context of our innovative chaplaincy project for the Great Western Park, which we hope and pray will be up and running by late spring!
