Annual Fire & Rescue Service Chaplains' Conference

Ceri Darrell | Tuesday, July 12, 2011

This year's Annual Fire and Rescue Service Chaplains' Association (FRSCA) Conference is once again being held at the Fire Service College and takes place between 13-15 September 2011.

The object of the Conference is to discuss matters of mutual concern; to encourage and foster good practice; to listen to a variety of speakers on Chaplaincy matters, and to enjoy the company of other chaplains in the beautiful surroundings of the College.

Chaplains who have attended previous FRSCA Conferences enjoy worship sessions in the College Chapel and especially look forward to meeting the usual wide range of Worship Leaders.  FRSCA is an inter-faith as well as œcumenical association for anyone who fulfils a Chaplaincy or Faith-Leadership role in the Fire and Rescue Services.

A highlight for this year's Conference will be a keynote speech from Bob Neill MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Fire and Resilience in the Department of Communities and Local Government, and a joint service and meeting with the Firefighters Memorial Trust.

Nick Rutter, National Secretary FRSCA, comments that "Fire Service Chaplains from the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and Islands are looking forward to coming to the Fire Service College for their Annual Conference.  The excellent facilities provided by the College help us to provide a professional standard of presentation and discussion.
