A big welcome to the Revd Scott Watts, new lead Chaplain at Hinchinbrooke Hospital, who I licensed at a packed service in the chapel there on Thursday night. Hinchinbrooke is the district hospital for the Huntingdon area and greatly loved by the people there. It hasn’t had an easy time under the various structural changes in the NHS, and a “Next Steps” project is taking place to try and find a good and sustainable future. You can download the project newsletter at www.eoe.nhs.uk/strategicprojects. Everyone there is in our prayers as the search goes on, and Scott is already proving a great help as he stands alongside them in it.
Thanks to David Grieves for the photo.

Congratulations to the Revd Scott.
Sadly, hospital chaplaincies are being increasingly derided by the intolerant forces of secularism aka ‘structural changes’. Every blessing upon this important ministry.
