The bread speaks of welcome. The stones, some with quartz veins in the form of a cross, speak of prayer, ancient and endless, stretching on and on.

People of all ages are welcome in the chapel, and all people are welcome to read this.

On these pages you will find prayers for use in public or private worship, poems, photos, comments, the stuff of the chaplain’s daily life. You are welcome to use them in your school, church or community group providing you give proper acknowledgement of their source and my copyright.
