Prayer is one of the things which is distinctive about chaplaincy. As Chaplains, we are called to pray with and for our schools and colleges.
Our prayers can be:
+ collective, at times when the whole school or college community gather;
+ corporate, when students and staff voluntarily gather to pray;
+ individual when the chaplain prays alone as part of their daily prayers and in times of crisis or hope;
+ pastoral, when chaplains are praying with within a pastoral relationship with students, staff or parents.
