CHAPLAINS AT COMMONWEALTH GAMES
Commonwealth Games athletes were supported by chaplains from around the world at the event held recently on Australia’s Gold Coast. Athletes at the 21st Games were supported by ten international chaplains who were available to people of all faiths and no faith. A chaplaincy spokesman told Christian Today that “athletes are under a lot of pressure. There are issues of fatigue and some suffer with anxiety and disappointment.” The chaplains’ primary role was to be available on a pastoral level to anyone who wanted help.
