Charlotte Cappi Grunnet will serve as acting pastor at the Danish Seamen’s Church in Hong Kong from 12 September 2025 to 12 March 2026, according to the Danish Church Abroad.
She will take leave from her current role as student and parish pastor at Frederiksberg, where she has been serving 30,000 students for the past 16 years.
“I am excited. When you have a desire to travel, it is a fantastic opportunity to be a pastor for seafarers and Danes living in Hong Kong,” says Charlotte Cappi Grunnet.
She explains that she looks forward to working in new surroundings and meeting Danes both in the harbour, on ships, in the church, in the Danish Room and around the city.
“From my time as a volunteer seamen’s pastor in Sri Lanka, I know the special importance of Danish churches abroad for Danes living overseas, those travelling through and the seafarers – a meeting place socially, culturally, linguistically and religiously. I also know the broad perspective that comes from cooperating with other international pastors. I look forward to meeting everyone and to the adventure,” she says according to the Facebook page of the Church.
