Welcome to the first episode of Chaplaincy Chats!

In this episode, we just wanted to dive straight into the deep end with, probably, the most difficult, mysterious question of life- why do we suffer, and if there is a God, why does he allow it?

We understand this can be a difficult topic to talk about. If you have any questions or want to discuss anything about this podcast, message us on [email protected] 

Host: Hannah Hayward, Coordinating Lay Chaplain at Leeds Trinity University

Guest: Fr Christopher Angel, Chaplain to the students at Bradford University and Parish Priest of St Joseph's Catholic Church, Bradford
