‘You’re helping people to get home,’ the bus driver summarizes on his way to the conference venue. This is the work done by airport chaplains day after day. Being able to find the colleague of another airport helps, so bereaved passengers will again be assisted upon their arrival. During the last week of October, airport chaplains from many different airports came together for their yearly conference in St. Louis. A rabbi of police spoke about emergency response by a chaplaincy team. And, in these times, an interfaith dinner is maybe even more important than ever, for people of different world views to meet and connect. The invitation for the dinner was kindly extended to the IACAC chaplains by the interfaith partnership of St. Louis University. Lots of bonds were created or renewed. Next year the team of Frankfurt chaplaincy will host the conference.
