POLICE CHAPLAINCY

Gerry McMillan serves as chaplain to several organizations including:

• O.P.P. Chaplain for Central Region and General Headquarters (Orillia)
• RCMP Chaplain Coordinator for ‘O’ Division
• Royal Canadian Legion #34 Chaplain (Orillia)
• Chaplain for Georgian Critical Incident Stress Management Team
• President of Canadian Police Chaplain Association

(It makes me wonder what he does in his spare time).

Last year he was interviewed by the Western Catholic Reporter about his activities.  It’s a good read but it is important to clarify a couple journalistic errors in the article.  First, Gerry told the reporter he is no longer pastoring churches, but it comes across as if he is no longer a Pentecostal minister.  That is not the case.  He is a valued credential holder with P.A.O.C.

Also, the reporter got Gerry’s details wrong about the number of OPP chaplains in Ontario.  There are about 10  in the province.  There are 4 RCMP chaplains in Ontario.
