Supporting shift workers

Studio Cameraman

 
 
 
 



What do you do?
 
I’m a Studio cameraman with SKY TV.
 
So you’ve just told me you used to have a Christian group at SKY why did you go to it?
 
I think they are excellent. They bring the Christians together and of course with a job like SKY you’re often in a situation where you’re doing shift work so getting Christian support with out the group can be quite difficult. Somewhere like SKY - it’s a 24 hour place so you can be doing community so it’s great if you can get Christians together to support one another and also pray for others.
 
At the moment you don’t have a group – how do you feel about that?
 
I think it’s important, there could well be something of a merging amongst the office staff coz they do a 9-5. I think it’s important within with these multinational places - you know massive - and it can be a great community to have a Christian Union. Also just being ‘Salt’ in the workplace. Those who believe can just encourage one another.
 
Do you feel supported by your church in the work that you do?
 
I think the church support for artists – I went to arts school – is always difficult. There’s still a miss understand at times, not so much the art forms, coz obviously that happens here at Spring Harvest, it’s more difficulties in relation with people who do shift work anyway and it’s probably not a regular shift, with unsocial hours so you can’t be at house group on a regular basis. That’s where the ACG comes in, the Arts Centre Group.
 
Anything else you want to say?
 
Well its good you exist!
