Announcing a new Director of the Disaster Recovery Chaplaincy Network (DRCN)

I am pleased to announce that Rev. Dr. Mark Layson has been appointed as Director / Senior Chaplain of the Disaster Recovery Chaplaincy Network (DRCN).

Mark has been an important part of the Synod Disaster Recovery Ministries team - working as Operations and Connections Manager of the DRCN since October last year.  As Director/Senior Chaplain, Mark will have oversight of the team based at Pitt Street and the nearly 400 volunteer DRCN chaplains across NSW and the ACT.

I will remain the National Disaster Recovery Officer and the coordinator of Synod Disaster Recovery Ministries which includes the Synod Peer Support Team and broader recovery ministries beyond disaster recovery chaplaincy.

I am sure you will be glad to congratulate and support Mark as he takes the DRCN into the future.

Every blessing,

Rev. Dr Stephen Robinson
National Disaster Recovery Coordinator
