The number of chaplains on the UK's waterways is increasing. Midlands based chaplain, Richard Alford, has been working with boaters in difficulty for a few years and met up in Hemel Hempstead to talk about his work. During the interview he invited me to accept Christ into my life and, even though I declined, we survived the awkwardness and stayed friends.
