Chaplains, affectionately known as 'The Bish' in the @RoyalNavy, play an important role in supporting our people. A Warship is their parish as they minister at sea, in the field and on a global scale. @of_fleet@DartmouthBRNCbbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england…
I was honoured to host today members of the Iraqi Government and Military, and ambassadors and representatives from Embassies around the world, for an act of remembrance to commemorate all those who have died in conflicts and wars around the world.
تشرفت اليوم باستضافة أعضاء من الحكومة والجيش العراقي وسفراء وممثلين عن السفارات من جميع انحاء العالم، وذلك لإحياء ذكرى جميع من لقوا حتفهم في الصراعات والحروب حول العالم.
Naval chaplaincy is a unique ministry. Chaplains carry no rank other than Chaplain @RoyalNavy allowing them direct access to all sailors and marines at sea and in the field. @of_fleet
Onboard HMS DIAMOND, the Chaplain leads remembrance for those who died in the previous HMS DIAMOND off Greece in 1941. @CardinalNichols@churchofengland @catholicforces
Chaplain Ralph Barber of HMS Queen Elizabeth led a service of remembrance for those who lost their lives during the Battle of Sicily with @820NAS at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Syracuse.
The Battle of Sicily is a significant @820NAS battle honour.
A real delight to address RN & RAF Chaplains at their annual conference today, “Cross, Crown and Sword - some theological thoughts for military chaplains.” Wonderful, inspiring ministry @RoyalNavy@of_fleet
