Public Chaplaincy is an emerging area of ministry that brings spiritual care to arenas where pastoral services are not typically found. There are public chaplains under Rev. Karen Hutt’s supervision doing spiritual care in laundromats, city buses, shelters, coffee shops, public parks, and more. Stay tuned to developments, opportunities, and Public Chaplaincy news on the Facebook page. UU Public Chaplaincy link: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089322236503
