Airport Chaplaincy: Meeting Folks where They Hurt
While most of us enjoyed a quiet and meditative entry into Lent yesterday, Chicago's airport chaplain logged his year's busiest day, with no less than FOURTEEN Ash Wednesday services. This WSJ article mentions how Minneapolis Somalis have been unsuccessful in persuading our airport officials to allow space for a chapel. Perhaps Episcopalians could join the effort to bring prayer space to the Twin Cities' gateway to air space. Airport chaplaincy would seem to be one fruitful way to bring folks to Christ.

The anonymity and the down time "between planes" might make it an ideal place for the chaplain.
Will they be offering last rites for baggage before it disappears forever?
