SandhurstChaplains

CC213 have gone up the steps, the horse has followed, and the rest of the Academy has marched off the square and back to New College…and it’s recess. See you back in a few weeks for the new term. #holidays #wellearnedrest #ServetoLead

The Senior Term cadets raised the roof today with their singing as they attended their commissioning service before tomorrow’s Sovereign’s Parade. These are the promises they make as they head into the world as 2Lts. #ServetoLead #values @RMASandhurst @ArmyComdtRMAS

Hindus across Defence and the emergency services were invited to celebrate Raksha Bandhan (Bond of Protection) by the Wellingborough Hindu temple on 2 Aug 22. The Deputy Lieutenant, High Sheriff Northamptonshire, Mayor Northampton and Deputy Mayor of Wellingborough also attended.

The last Sunday of term means Colours to Chapel. The Academy Colours are marched in and laid on the altar as we remind ourselves what we’re about. #servetolead @AcSgtMaj_RMAS @ArmyChaplaincy @RMASandhurst

Thread: Rev Walter Ogilvy #ChaplainTuesday Born 16/1/12912 in County Durham. He was granted an emergency commission in the @ArmyChaplaincy RACD in February 1940. @ArmyChaplainMus @TheParachuteReg 1/5

@ancientanmodern @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust A socket, a mic socket and no space on the lectern because of the altar frontal 🤷‍♀️

@RMASchaplains @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust There certainly used to be! (See if wiring is still in place for one?) it was to illuminate your script but would lend a saintly glow to whoever was preaching. Maybe the Royal Memorial Chapel was darker back then!

Always a little strange to see someone doing your very niche job on film @KingsmanMovie Points for anyone who can tell us what’s missing from the Chapel in this scene. @RMASTrust - unfortunately you’re not allowed to play - it wouldn’t be fair! #mondaythoughts #vocations

@RuthMGee It’s pretty good in the royal memorial chapel being sung by 800 Officer Cadets with a military band, organ and choir! But of course, sadly it’s ‘redeemer’

Another Baptism today in the Machine Gun Font - so named because it is made from the melted down regimental silver when the Corps disbanded. Talk about fantastic symbolism! Click for the full picture. #sundayvibes #baptism @ArmyChaplainMus @RMASTrust @NAM_London

@Jamie_Harle_ @ASN_CoChair @lucycthomas

@ASN_CoChair @RMASchaplains @lucycthomas But in the last 12 months I’ve spent more time in Wales on Longreach than I have anywhere near the Caribbean! 😂

@MikeMdkparker @HariboUKI_ @ArmyChaplaincy Is that an offer? Bring your Marigolds next week.

@RMASchaplains @HariboUKI_ @ArmyChaplaincy That door needs cleaning.

The contents of this postal delivery may be a clue as to who might live in this house…that isn’t going to last long though #moralibo #replendem @HariboUKI_ @ArmyChaplaincy

@Jamie_Harle_ @lucycthomas When you find yourself in a wet Brecon woodblock rather than the Caribbean then you might find yourself eligible for a sweet.

@RMASchaplains @lucycthomas Favouritism! I’ve not even had a single sweet from any of you in two years! 😁

@lucycthomas @Jamie_Harle_ We’re always here for moral support and when you just need to vent about your crazy husband.

@Jamie_Harle_ 🙄 I shouldn’t ever leave you alone

@nightwatchman20 @AcSgtMaj_RMAS @RMASandhurst @Corpsarmymusic @SgtMajFrench There’s always time for tea

@RMASchaplains @AcSgtMaj_RMAS @RMASandhurst @Corpsarmymusic I can just imagine the Padre being invited to @SgtMajFrench office afterwards for a brew.. more tea vicar?

When the Platoon Commander’s away…the Padre will take the salute on their behalf. Intermediate Term Drill Competition on a glorious morning. Just a normal #FridayFeeling #drill #. @AcSgtMaj_RMAS @RMASandhurst @Corpsarmymusic

@burgonsoc @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust You could always find out whether it was historically accurate. I’m guessing the Revd Mr Woods would have been in post.

@RMASchaplains @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust Judging by the hood, the chaplain appears to be either a London PhD (>1919) or a Cambridge LLD

@perennialcapt @lucycthomas @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust Cant quite remember from the film but I think around 1916-17.

@lucycthomas @RMASchaplains @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust What year is this scene set in . . . ;)

@ancientanmodern @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust You made me second guess myself and had to go check…no lamp here

@RMASchaplains @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust @RMASchaplains @RMASTrust The lamp above the lectern is missing.

@LParker082 @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust No offence taken, unless you’re talking about last Sunday. And to your other point….no book

@RMASchaplains @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust It looks so blank and uninteresting - reading those names helped me stay awake during the slowest of sermons (sorry padre). Also I assume there is no book of remembrance - but I can’t see from this angle.

@r6pus @KingsmanMovie @RMASTrust @RichCrawford29 Very true. Belle would have stolen the show though - not sure that would have gone down well.
