ListeningChaplaincyPhonelineSuspendedascommunityopensupPosted on 2nd July 2020 in News, Connect, Chaplaincy
Withtheopeningupofseveralpartsofsociety,includinggreateraccesstoplacesof worship, organisers of the Listening Chaplaincy Phoneline have decided tosuspendtheoperation.
Run by 90 lay and clergy chaplains the phoneline was set up to provideemotionalsupporttothosesufferingfromCOVID-19relatedanxietyintheAvonandSomersetarea. Itwascreatedbythefaithcommunitiesworkingtogetherinthemajoremergenciesteam(originallyestablished30yearsagotoprovideface-to-facesupportintimesofemergency)andwasadaptedtobecomeachaplaincyphonelineinresponsetothepandemic.
Ittookjustonemonthtodeveloptheserviceandtrainteammembersanditoperated successfully for two months. Bishop Peter praised the work of thehelpline,thankingthosewhosetitupandthevolunteerswhoworkedtirelesslythroughout tosupport those inneed. “Igive thanks toall thosewhoworked toenablethistohappen,forthosewhohavebeenhelpedandforthethingswehavelearntalongtheway.”
NotallthecallsthephonelinereceivedwerelinkeddirectlytoCOVID19,butmany were in response to the impact of the crisis on people. Organisers alsobelieve therehavebeenother indirectpositiveconsequences, ”It isnowknownthattheFaithCommunitiescanrespondtocrisisinadifferentandextendedway,meaning,forexample,avictimsupportlinecouldbespeedilyestablishedinthewakeofamajoremergencyincident.”
David Maggs Bath and Wells Mission Team Leader was part of the groupwhichhelpedorganisethephoneline,hecommendedallthoseinvolvedfortheirdedicationanddetermination.
“We thank everyone for theirwillingness to be involved, and for thepassion, endurance and commitment shown. We have made a positivedifferencetomanypeople’slives,aswehopedwewould.Weknowwehavebuiltafellowshipofvolunteerswhowere“readyforanything”together.”
His words were echoed by Revd Adrian Prior-Sankey, Lead Chaplain, TauntonTeam Chaplaincy, “It proved to be a real blessing to thosewho called seeking acaring response to their needs during the lockdown period. The 90 volunteersconsidereditaprivilegetobeabletolistenandpraywiththosewhowelcomedtheoffer. Organisers hope that many of the team members will continue theirassociationwiththeFaithCommunities’MajorEmergencyplanResponseteamandbereadytoservetheirneighboursagaininwhateverwayhelpmightbeneeded”.
TheBeneficeChoirThe BeneWice Choir continues to meet online for a choirpracticeand then towork in the relativequietof theirownhomes to record the soprano, alto, tenor or bass parts ofsomewell-knownhymns.Thosebeingrehearsedthismonthinclude ‘TheLord'smy shepherd’, ‘OWorship theKing’ andthe‘CelticCommunion’.
Although the choir misses the fellowship of beingtogether to sing and support the four churches of the
BeneWice, almostallmembersarenow familiarwithusingZoom. The fact thatLynne has the power to ‘mute’ voices wholly or severally, makes for a verycheerful,ifnotalwaystotallymusical,practice!

ListeningChaplaincyPhonelineSuspendedascommunityopensupPosted on 2nd July 2020 in News, Connect, Chaplaincy
Withtheopeningupofseveralpartsofsociety,includinggreateraccesstoplacesof worship, organisers of the Listening Chaplaincy Phoneline have decided tosuspendtheoperation.
Run by 90 lay and clergy chaplains the phoneline was set up to provideemotionalsupporttothosesufferingfromCOVID-19relatedanxietyintheAvonandSomersetarea. Itwascreatedbythefaithcommunitiesworkingtogetherinthemajoremergenciesteam(originallyestablished30yearsagotoprovideface-to-facesupportintimesofemergency)andwasadaptedtobecomeachaplaincyphonelineinresponsetothepandemic.
Ittookjustonemonthtodeveloptheserviceandtrainteammembersanditoperated successfully for two months. Bishop Peter praised the work of thehelpline,thankingthosewhosetitupandthevolunteerswhoworkedtirelesslythroughout tosupport those inneed. “Igive thanks toall thosewhoworked toenablethistohappen,forthosewhohavebeenhelpedandforthethingswehavelearntalongtheway.”
NotallthecallsthephonelinereceivedwerelinkeddirectlytoCOVID19,butmany were in response to the impact of the crisis on people. Organisers alsobelieve therehavebeenother indirectpositiveconsequences, ”It isnowknownthattheFaithCommunitiescanrespondtocrisisinadifferentandextendedway,meaning,forexample,avictimsupportlinecouldbespeedilyestablishedinthewakeofamajoremergencyincident.”
David Maggs Bath and Wells Mission Team Leader was part of the groupwhichhelpedorganisethephoneline,hecommendedallthoseinvolvedfortheirdedicationanddetermination.
“We thank everyone for theirwillingness to be involved, and for thepassion, endurance and commitment shown. We have made a positivedifferencetomanypeople’slives,aswehopedwewould.Weknowwehavebuiltafellowshipofvolunteerswhowere“readyforanything”together.”
His words were echoed by Revd Adrian Prior-Sankey, Lead Chaplain, TauntonTeam Chaplaincy, “It proved to be a real blessing to thosewho called seeking acaring response to their needs during the lockdown period. The 90 volunteersconsidereditaprivilegetobeabletolistenandpraywiththosewhowelcomedtheoffer. Organisers hope that many of the team members will continue theirassociationwiththeFaithCommunities’MajorEmergencyplanResponseteamandbereadytoservetheirneighboursagaininwhateverwayhelpmightbeneeded”.
TheBeneficeChoirThe BeneWice Choir continues to meet online for a choirpracticeand then towork in the relativequietof theirownhomes to record the soprano, alto, tenor or bass parts ofsomewell-knownhymns.Thosebeingrehearsedthismonthinclude ‘TheLord'smy shepherd’, ‘OWorship theKing’ andthe‘CelticCommunion’.
Although the choir misses the fellowship of beingtogether to sing and support the four churches of the
BeneWice, almostallmembersarenow familiarwithusingZoom. The fact thatLynne has the power to ‘mute’ voices wholly or severally, makes for a verycheerful,ifnotalwaystotallymusical,practice!

I’mathomeprincipally,but my working day has got fuller andmore demanding astimehasgoneon.
So, I’m planning a holiday! A retreat and some study leave. Having beenordained 24 years I have yet to have a period of sabbatical and I’m lookingforwardtoit! ItisnotgoingtotaketheformIwouldhaveplanned. Therewillnotbetheopportunityofatripoverseasoraresidentialconferencetoattend,buttherewillbeplentyoftimeforfamily,rest,readingandreWlection.
