RAF CHAPLAINCY
Within the station I have taken duties such as being the building custodian, attending executive and welfare meetings, as well as taking part in remembrance services; this has all been an exciting experience. I have as well been involved in leading services during passing out parades at RAF Cranwell, RAF Halton, RAF Shawbury and other stations. Definitely one of my core duties has always been the Subject Matter Expert( SME) on Islam related issues within the RAF where I am called to work alongside chaplaincy teams at RAF Leeming, RAF Wood Vale, RAF Honington, RAF Brize Norton and RAF Akrotiri. I have also taken part in exercises; Magic Carpet, Thuraiyat and Cobra Warrior. I look forward to my deployment in Op Shader and supporting Epic Skies.
Multi faith chaplaincy in creative action!
