Our conference, held in Llandudno UK will be an opportunity for Prison Chaplains from across Europe and the Middle East to join together both in person and online. This Eventbrite event is set up to enable people to join us online via Zoom for the Main Sessions of the conference, which will run from Sunday 11 June to Tuesday 13 June.
We recognise that for many at this difficult time the cost and difficulty of travel to the UK will be prohibitive, so have decided as a committee to offer the online option free of charge.
We will be offering live interpretation in French; if there is another language you would require, please let us know in your booking form.
In caring for others, we very often find ourselves to be at our spiritual and sometimes emotional limits; this conference seeks to offer refreshment, spiritual renewal, and encouragement in our difficult yet rewarding prison ministries.
From Sunday to Tuesday afternoon the conference will have a standard format with input and interaction including teaching on managing trauma we experience either first-hand or by secondary means, worshipping together, IPCA Europe business matters, and also hearing from those in senior justice sector management. The conference will be live-streamed from Gloddaeth Church, Llandudno.
Every morning we will begin with devotions led by Marit Skartveit, an experienced Norwegian Prison Chaplain who has led retreats in and out of prisons over many years.
