Richard serves as a hospital chaplain, offering comfort and hope to patients and staff during some of life’s most vulnerable moments.
"Ministry in a hospital setting is about being present when people need it most. Despite the obvious challenges of ministering to people at the end of life or in trauma wards, it feels a natural place for me to be."
Richard’s ministry reminds us that God’s love reaches into every ward and waiting room, bringing peace and reassurance where it is needed most.
Your support helps people like Richard step into their calling.
Every donation to the Diocese of Bristol helps open the door to training, formation, and ongoing support for LLMs across our region.
Thank you for reading Richard’s story. Come back tomorrow to open the next door and hear from another of our dedicated lay ministers.
