Evacuated chaplain helps those struck by Australian fires
From The Canberra Times:
Rev Corkin spoke to a number of people in the centre whose homes had been lost to fire and said chaplains provide crucial emotional support.
“You meet people at their point of need, they set the agenda – I don’t go in saying, ‘now how can I get God into the conversation?’,” Rev Corkin said.
However he said some people were asking “what is the foundation of my life if I lose everything?”.
Crises throw up core questions including what is important to people, Rev Corkin said.
