Thank you for sharing this lovely interview with Christine, Megan!

Christine - I love that your 'The Pasta', and 'hatched, matched and dispatched!' there is so much community in those three words.

It's lovely to learn more about your journey and your chaplaincy beyond your publication. Thanks to both of you.

Thank you so much Victoria! It is SUCH a moving story and I am just so incredibly grateful for the often overlooked work of our hospital chaplains.

If anyone has every found themselves despairing and alone in a hospital room, they understand how incredibly valuable the care provided from people like Christine Vaughan Davies is to them in their moment of need (clearly l speak from experience…)

Yes, many people don't know chaplains exist or what we do! I'm grateful to Megan for spreading awareness among her audience.

Thanks so much Christine! It has truly been an honor to highlight those, like yourself, who humbly and quietly serve others who are often over-looked, hidden behind hospital walls. Thank you for demonstrating the love of God in such a tangible way.
