Our MembersCommunity Chaplaincy Statement of Faith
The foundations of community chaplaincy are derived from faith based principles.
Faith informs and motivates the work of CCA and its projects. Faith is the belief that no one is beyond help and the belief in the transformative power of hope, compassion, forgiveness, perseverance and patience.
Projects recognise that faith is a protective factor for communities and individuals.
The CCA recognises all faiths, harnessing and supporting the resources of single and multi-faith communities to work in response to the needs of prisoners and their families.
CCA projects support clients of all faiths and none, believing in the intrinsic value of each human life. They respond to those who wish to explore faith but are not intent on proselytizing.
The CCA believes that it is only when there is opportunity for change, transformation, renewal and restoration, that justice is fully served in the detention of prisoners. It is a valid distinction that CCA is multi-faith and diverse but our members can be single faith.
