PASTORAL CARE

As a multi-faith, non-denominational charity, we embrace all faiths and seek to work alongside young people and adults by conducting worship and leading prayers. In doing so our chaplaincy aims to spread the Corps’ values and support cadets and adults as they embrace new challenges. Throughout the Sea Cadets, chaplains appointed from clergy, lay readers and others with an authorised ministry work with each Unit to provide moral, spiritual and pastoral guidance

Chaplains are expected to serve all faith communities and to work alongside young people and adults to provide guidance and leadership in spiritual, moral and community matters.

Keith Stewart is the chaplain to TS Tremadoc Bay, the Middleton and Chadderton Unit. Until 1994 he served for 22 years as an officer in the Sea Cadets in the Manchester area. “I enjoyed my time with the Sea Cadets,” he says, “but I felt I’d gone as far as I could, and, as well as being a police officer, I also decided to study to become a reader in the Church of England. Not long after I qualified, one of my colleagues suggested I think about rejoining as chaplain.”

In case you’re wondering exactly what a Sea Cadet chaplain does, Keith claims he has a broad remit. “Generally, it’s the chaplain’s job to be available,” he explains, “mind you, thanks to my 20 years as a Sea Cadet officer I also do a lot of instructing, including drill, map reading and first aid. Although I’ve now retired from the police I find my 30 years’ service comes in very handy at times.”
