We are very pleased to introduce to you the speakers and special guests of the online conference 2020:
Grace Davie is a well-known British sociologist of religion. She helps us understand the challenges of being an airport chaplain in the context of the Covid-19 crisis.
Kathy Malcolm Hall is a therapist specialized in accompanying congregations and clergy. She guides us in 3 short sessions to deal with the grief and uncertainties related to these tragic times and how to make sense of them.
The last part, consists of 2 videos with 3 major leaders of the aviation industry:
Charles Everett, Deputy Director, Aviation and General Manager at JFK
Captain Gilbert Kibe, Director General of the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Groupe ADP
Each of them had a conversation with Rev Pierre de Mareuil President of the IACAC about the challenges of the sector through this crisis and for the years to come as well as about their views on airport chaplaincy and its essential value to airports. These two videos consist of chosen parts from the 3 interviews. You can also watch the full interviews.
We hope you will enjoy these videos and that they will inspire you and nurture your thoughts on how to keep on being available for passengers, staff and management at your airport and, to put it in the words of Captain Kibe, be a face of hope in this terrible crisis.
