Spiritual Care Series - enrolment opens

Julia Burton-Jones

BRF Ministries is gearing up for the next online Spiritual Care Series course, which starts in early in the New Year.

We know how much people enjoy the Spiritual Care Series - both to understand their own ageing process better and to be able to support others. So, you may like to start 2026 joining the next SCS online course starting next month, (Monday, January 5).

Many people have taken this course and gone on to train to become an Anna Chaplain. However, the course is of real value to anyone curious about their own ageing and the spiritual potential of older age, as well as how best to care for others spiritually.  

What's special about this course? Julia Burton-Jones our Training and Development Lead for Anna Chaplaincy has led many such online courses and says:

‘A wealth of practical guidance is provided and it is an opportunity to practice skills and explore the benefits of different approaches. The expert contributors are exceptional in their expertise and passion for older people’s spiritual care.

By providing the tools and rationale for offering spiritual support, my hope is that it will enable older people to find more hope, meaning and purpose in their lives, and for those who have a faith, that this will be nurtured as a source of resilience and connection.’

This new course for 2026 begins with an introduction on Monday, January 5 and then runs on Monday evenings until March 9. (The online course will run again later in the year, in May-July, and September-November).
