The Story of Chaplaincy on the
Chelmsford Campus of Anglia Ruskin
University 2008
Over four years ago now,
three members of the Chelmsford Chaplaincy
team completed major pieces of work for
higher degrees, each of them a theological
reflection, from their particular
professional standpoint, on the place and
impact of faith and Chaplaincy as it
reacts with a Higher Education
institution; a PhD thesis from The Rev'd
Dr Michael Powell, part time lecturer in
Built Environment, and two dissertations
for the MA in Pastoral Theology from Diana
Garfield, Faculty Liaison Librarian: AIBS
Academic Services Division, and The Rev'd
Ivor Moody, full time Chaplain.
Following this
extraordinary and closely timed output
of thought, we wanted to examine
connections and shared themes between
the three pieces of work, and to try in
some way to produce a synthesis of
thinking which would further
Chaplaincy's understanding and ministry
at Anglia Ruskin University.
The result is the
launch of a little book on the 19th
November 2008 which is an exercise in
'narrative theology'- looking at the
history and interaction of Chaplaincy
with the university from three different
perspectives and which reflects the
process of 'storytelling' upon which
Michael, Diana and I were engaged when
we were doing our separate pieces of
work.
