ABOUT THE MISSION TO SEAFARERS:
The Mission to Seafarers, formerly called The Missions to Seamen, is a missionary society of the Anglican Church, which cares for the spiritual and practical welfare of all seafarers regardless of nationality or faith.
Through our network of chaplains, staff and volunteers in 300 ports worldwide, we reach out to them by visiting them on their ships, offering a welcome and whatever help may be needed.
In over 100 ports we run centres where seafarers can relax away from their ships, get local information, find help with problems, share worship and telephone or email home.
The Mission's flying angel logo is inspired by a verse from the Book of Revelation: "Then I saw an angel flying in mid-heaven with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those on earth, to every nation and tribe, language and people"
The Mission to Seafarers was founded in 1856, but it had it's beginnings some years earlier when John Ashley, an Anglican priest, started visiting ships at anchor in the Bristol Channel in 1835. He found no one from the Church has been near them before. He was so moved by their isolation and need that he gave up a secure living to devote his life to serving them.
