Meet Rev Popejoy, the most unlikely chaplain - EVER
- 5 years ago
Rob Popejoy, who is the student chaplain at the City of Bath College.
Unlike many members of the clergy, Rob is heavily tattooed with a
beard and comes to work on a skateboard or motorbike. Bath, Somerset. He is a clergyman with a difference, he is heavily tattooed with a bushy beard and he comes to work on a skateboard or motorbike. Student chaplain at City of Bath College Rob Popejoy has taken to part time modelling for photography and art pupils, and is certainly no ordinary man of the cloth, albeit very little cloth at times. “I try to do things differently,” he said. “As I am representing religion and faith, I think we need to challenge the old traditional ways to keep religion fresh and approachable to all.” He feels students can relate to him as he is more like them, and his hobbies include snowboarding, football and hip-hop music. He has tattoos linked to his faith and love of Star Wars covering most of his body.
