Times -Advocate, July 16, 1986 Pogo 7 Minister at Blyth New chapIain at South Nuion South Huron Hospital has a new chaplain. Cecile Barnhart was the successful applicant for the position which became available when her predecessor, Cheryl Ashick-Englert, decided not to return after materni- ty leave. She began her new job on May 12. Mrs. Barnhart, the wife of Bob Bar- nhart, pastor of the Grand Bend Church of God, is well equipped by both training and inclination for her duties at the Exeter hospital. The daughter of a policeman grew up near Tillsonburg. While studying computer programming at Niagara College in Welland, she and a friend decided to seek some answers to religious dif- ferences by attending a nearby Church of God. This led to a change in direction. "I was a Baptist, my friend was a Catholic, and we are now both ministers", Barnhart remarked. (The Church of God, headquartered in Anderson, Indiana, 19 non- denominational, has no formal membership, and no other creed but the Bible). After receiving her general college .diploma in 1973, Barnhart enrolled in Alberta Bible Institute in Camrose, Alberta. "I enjoyed being creative with com- puters, but I wanted to work with peo- ple", she explained. After graduation in 1977, Barnhart, pastored the Church of God in Blyth until 1979, when she headed for Ander- son School of Theology. She graduated two years later with an MA in religion, majoring in psychology and pastoral care. A short interim as pastor in Powassan near North Bay was follow- ed by return to Anderson to obtain her MDiv. By this time, Barnhart had decid- ed to specialize in counselling, and received further training at Raines Pastoral Counselling Centre, In- dianapolis, and then at the Christian Theological Seminary in the same ci- ty. She les working on her doctorate in pastoral care and counselling, and hopes to complete her dissertation and graduate next May. "Because of my training, there's nothing else I would want to do if I couldn't be in the ministry", Barnhart said. As chaplain of South Huron Hospital, Barnhart wants to spend time with the patients, get to know them, and pray with them and for them. She is aware that wearing those inadequate hospital gowns, and not being able to tend to some of one's personal needs, chip away at a per- son's dignity during a hospital stay. "I hope that through the chaplain patients will be able to voice their fears, and feel ministered to and en- couraged with the strength that comes from God", Barnhart said, ad- ding she will also respect those who do not want her to visit them. Barnhart is also once again the minister at the Church of God in Blyth.
