Faith on the fly: The airport chaplains

Spend a week in and around Heathrow Airport's chapel.

In many ways, St George鈥檚 is what you鈥檇 expect from a local chapel: friendly dedicated staff, weekly mass, an open door every day of the year. But being in the heart of Heathrow Airport makes its mission unique. With more than 20 multi-faith chaplains representing the major world religions, it offers sanctuary and support to 90 million-plus people annually in the unpredictable environment of a mega airport.

We spend a week with the chaplains, and the passengers and airport staff they encounter. Can faith and connection soar in this most transitory, stressful, and ethereal of spaces?
