Meeting Students’ Spiritual Needs in the Multi-Faith Context
Keynote Speakers: (some tbc)
Dr Kenneth Stevenson, Bishop of Portsmouth and Chair of Church of England
Board of Education
Bill Rammell, Minister of State for Further and Higher Education
Dr Les Ebdon, Vice-Chancellor, University of Bedfordshire and UUK

Recent Reports on: Faiths in HE Chaplaincy; Islam in UK Universities; Guidance for FE Colleges on Multi-Faith Chaplaincy; All Faiths and None will be discussed at a Round Table session.
There will also be a strong emphasis on discussion and interaction between FE and HE chaplains in workshop sessions, with one group of sessions focusing on competing policy demands: e.g. Responding to Diversity and Community Cohesion. In the second group of workshop sessions the emphasis will be on managers and chaplains from HE and FE learning from their practical experience; trying to balance the different demands on their time, for example: Multi-Faith Teams, Pastoral Care, Working with Students and Staff, Curriculum Involvement, Worship and Space, Institutional Priorities, Funding, etc.
The Conference has baseline funding from the CofE Board of Education and is being organised in association with the Methodist Church, NEAFE and CHELG (the Churches’ Higher Education Liaison Group).
A booking form will be available shortly or you can reserve an early place by emailing: carole.brown@c-of-e.org.uk.
