Naval Chaplaincy Service -

1/6 I have HIV. What does it matter?

Chaplains, affectionately known as 'The Bish' in the @RoyalNavy, play an important role in supporting our people. A Warship is their parish as they minister at sea, in the field and on a global scale. @of_fleet @DartmouthBRNC bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-eng…

I was honoured to host today members of the Iraqi Government and Military, and ambassadors and representatives from Embassies around the world, for an act of remembrance to commemorate all those who have died in conflicts and wars around the world.

تشرفت اليوم باستضافة أعضاء من الحكومة والجيش العراقي وسفراء وممثلين عن السفارات من جميع انحاء العالم، وذلك لإحياء ذكرى جميع من لقوا حتفهم في الصراعات والحروب حول العالم.

At the 11th hour, on the 11th day of the 11th month, we paused and remembered those who died in conflict.

Naval chaplaincy is a unique ministry. Chaplains carry no rank other than Chaplain @RoyalNavy allowing them direct access to all sailors and marines at sea and in the field. @of_fleet

Today saw the departure of Ven Martyn Gough as Chaplain of the Fleet & succeeded by Rev Andrew Hillier. @RoyalNavy @navy_news @ArmyChaplaincy @RAFChaplains @AdmTonyRadakin

@hazard_rn Thank you Lee

Faith is a pretty formidable weapon. Got me through some tough deployments. Ephesians 6:16-18 🗡 🛡

@HallidayVicky @DartmouthBRNC @churchofengland @RoyalNavy @AdmTonyRadakin @MoorlandsColl Yes. As the oldest Chaplains Branch in the world , we have the rank of Chaplain and this we call nobody sir/ma’am or them us. It’s the only way to do Chaplaincy.

@of_fleet @DartmouthBRNC @churchofengland @RoyalNavy @AdmTonyRadakin @MoorlandsColl Is it true chaplains assume the rank of whoever they’re with? So can be equal (not outrank them) and ensure freer/franker conversation

Naval Chaplains are not Officers so don’t carry a weapon, but train the same as Young Officers. This is one of our New Entry Chaplains on exercise with Young Officers- we go where our people go. @DartmouthBRNC @churchofengland @RoyalNavy @AdmTonyRadakin @MoorlandsColl

@2DCDH @BBCSport @BBCOne @BBCTwo @BBCiPlayer Navy, Army and RAF medics have travelled the length of the country to vaccinate people. They set up the first Nightingale hospitals. They have delivered the logistics. The Navy did the same in the Caribbean. That ok?

In the Royal Box today on Centre Court there are some VERY special guests who have played a vital part in the fight against Covid-19. 📺💻 Watch on @BBCOne, @BBCTwo, @BBCiPlayer and the BBC Sport app. #bbctennis #Wimbledon
