Chaplain
We seek to appoint an ordained member of the Anglican Communion to the permanent role of Chaplain.
The Chaplaincy of King’s College is one of the most distinctive posts in the Anglican Communion. It combines daily ministry with an extraordinary building, in partnership with one of the foremost choral foundations in the world, with the pastoral care of a particular and remarkable community: the undergraduates and graduates of the College, drawn from across the world; the Fellows and the staff; the Choristers of King’s College School and their families; and the very many visitors for whom the Chapel is their first or perhaps only encounter with the worshipping life of the Church.
The Chaplain at King’s is given Associate Fellow status, is free from the burdens of governance, and works in close partnership with the Dean, Director of Music, the Chapel Manager and a small administrative team. The role is therefore an unusually full and unusually defined one. It calls for diligence, dignity and warmth in equal measure, and it offers in return a sphere of ministry in which careful theological formation, pastoral attentiveness and a love of liturgy can flourish together over many years.
