Identity
Activity & financial
The national policy plan is to be found at the website of the Deanery; the local policy is as follows: the purpose of the Chaplaincy is to enable people to share in the worship of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in English according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England and also to reach out spiritually and pastorally to those living in Voorschoten and its environs who do not belong to another Church particularly to those who are English speaking (cf. article 3 of the Chaplaincy constitution). The Chaplaincy may have paid staff and other workers, and also may compensate volunteer workers for their activities to the maximum allowable annual amount.
At its 2023 annual meeting the church council presented the annual report looking back over 2022. During 2022 the church moved into an interregnum following the departure of Revd. Ruan Crew. However, the church has demonstrated its adaptability and resilience as many people have stepped up to make the year a success. The recruitment process for a new chaplain continues. The full annual report is available here.
