From England-CATERING for the 10,000 athletes from 165 countries descending on London for this summer’s Olympic Games is a daunting prospect.
While a team of chefs will feed and water the competitors, Wivenhoe chaplain Thomas Yap will cater for their spiritual side.
Mr Yap, 36, has been selected as one of the Anglican chaplains who will be on hand in and around the Olympic village in July and August.
He will be part of a multi-faith team who will give services to their following.
Mr Yap may also be called to calm the nerves and mental anguish of an athlete on the eve of the biggest moment of their career Modest Mr Yap, chosen partly because he also works as a psychotherapist, said he didn’t think his support could make the difference between a competitor taking gold or finishing further down the field.
