Existential and humanist pastoral care | Derby Humanists

Wayne Mills, our Local Groups Volunteer Coordinator, Humanist Celebrant and Registered Chaplain, is going to provide a talk on Humanist Pastoral Care. Wayne brings a wealth of experience and is very passionate about this topic. As well as delivering Pastoral Care, Wayne is also a Sector Coordinator and trainer with the Non Religious Pastoral Support Network.

Those at the NRPSN believe that equality of provision matters. People in need of support should be able to choose to speak to someone who shares their worldview. Until recently, public institutions have looked to people from religious communities to be the sole providers of this kind of service. With over half of British society now identifying as non-religious, they believe it should be a top priority for institutions to increase the number of non-religious carers within pastoral, spiritual and religious care departments, and therefore increase the availability of care in the form people want across all sectors and services.
