Comment from a 16 year old working at the Cornshed: 'So what exactly does a chaplain do at the Cornshed?'
'Loitering with intent; something might happen, nothing might happen- just being around. Plus I love rock music'. I suppose that someone more articulate might be able to tease a book with lots of long words and touchy feely poetry out of that....
Thinking of Nouwen (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wounded-Healer-Ministry-Contemporary-Society/dp/0232521026/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215159892&sr=1-3)and his time as a chaplainn on an ocean liner:-
'God damn it, Father, get out of my way.' But when I was ready to run away, filled with feelings of incompetence and guilt, he came back and said: 'Why don't you just stay around. This might be the only time I really need you.' (p86).
...back to the marking....
