Becomming a CF Chaplain

[alexier]

Hi there.

I just wondered how one would go about becoming a CF Chaplain. I am a Priest in the Anglican tradition and Vicar of 4 Rural Parishes. I have been a member of CF for over 8 years now and have been (In my time) a welcoming angel and supporter of the site (which I continue to be) Just wanted some advice really.

Many blessings
Lexie

Greetings, Lexie. This Thread lists the CF responsibilities and requirements. Give it a read and if you are interested send a PM to Chaplain David and myself and we can explore it with you further.

This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. - 1 Timothy 3:1

I believe the root word for Bishop is skopus, kind of like a scope in which things are examined and looked after. Thus we have the Greek episkopē, which is one who looks after. I would put the chaplain ministry here on the level of Bishops, which is indeed a good work. God's blessings on such endeavors and thank you for contributing your time here on the CF.
