- Notes
- Part of: Special Report: The Anglican Military Ordinariate. "[Major Maude] Parsons-Horst has served as a chaplain in Newfoundland, the U.K., Ottawa, Edmonton and Petawawa, Ont. Now she is a team leader co-ordinating the work of the chaplains in Afghanistan. She says she is amazed every day by the strength and dedication she sees in the troops. 'I've never been so proud to stand in uniform as to stand in uniform with the guys over here'. 'Working as a chaplain with the Canadian Forces is a privilege and an honour', she writes in email correspondence from Kandahar with the 'Anglican Journal'. 'The men and women who serve in our army, air force and navy .. and their wonderful families .. are special people who contribute to our country and our world as a form of duty. They are subjected to risks, to long times away from each other, to constant moves and disruptions to their lives, and all for the good of others'." Also includes text of poem 'Mission Bound" written by Parsons-Horst 14 June 2010, Kandahar.
