Chaplaincy Induction at Alabare Place


I felt that today was much more productive than yesterday both for me and also the English cricketers. Australia were all out for a pathetic 128 runs giving England the opportunity to make them follow on or bat.  They chose to bat.  They already have a 250-odd lead.  I took the Park & Ride bus into Salisbury where I delivered a missing page from my portfolio and then spent about four hours or so at the Alabare Place homeless drop-in centre learning about the centre and undergoing some essential induction before I formally take up my position as its chaplain.  Wonderful light airy atrium area with interesting art work suspended from the roof. It was pleasant to sit and chat to some of the service users and staff and I am looking forward to a rewarding time ahead with them working at the centre on a weekly basis.
