*'''Funerals:''' You have a stock of coffins and burial garments you can use for wakes and space burials (that is, launching them out of the mass driver). Some employees appreciate wakes being held for friends and loved ones. See below.

*'''Psychological care.''' This includes counseling, pharmaceutical remedies (consult the chemist), and confessions. You have a confession booth; you and the confessor enter separate rooms and switch on the radio terminals. Most crew members rarely if ever submit to psychological care of their own initiative; offer to help when someone looks troubled. Prisoners are most often in need of attention.
*'''Psychological care.''' While this is intended to be the role of the [[Psychiatrist]], one might not be on the station or some may prefer your help. This can include counseling, pharmaceutical remedies (consult the chemist), and confessions. For confessions specifically, you and the confessor enter separate rooms and switch on the radio terminals. Most crew members rarely. if ever submit to psychological care of their own initiative; offer to help when someone looks troubled. Prisoners are most often in need of attention.


*'''Church Services.''' Give sermons and sing hymns.<!-- You can create a hymnal by writing a youtube link to a desired song on a piece of paper, or have the Librarian run some off for you. -->
*'''Church Services.''' Give sermons and sing hymns. You can create a hymnal by writing a YouTube link or even the song code on a piece of paper and ask the [[Curator]] to print and bind spare copies. Note that the chapel, on most maps, isn't a high-traffic area, so it would be wise to advertise your sermon some minutes in advance.


*'''Proselytizing.''' Most crew members are godless heathens; acquiring followers for your god(s) is your first priority. When you convince someone to join the church, you can perform a ritual of conversion (some elements you may want to include: drugs, glossolalia, sacrifices, drinking of [[Guide_to_drinks#Demons_Blood|demon's blood]], public announcements, prayer, lying naked on the altar, strikes with the holy book, confession, blood-letting).

*'''Blessing Rooms.''' Your bible has the power to turn ordinary water into holy water by <s>blessing</s> smacking the container with it. Holy water stops any [[Construct | Evil Spirits]] or [[Wizard | Magical Beings]] from Ethereal Jaunting onto the tile that you splash the holy water on, and can deconvert cultists. If a cult or wizard is discovered then it would be the best idea to bless a water-tank with your bible, give that to security, grabbing a fire extinguisher and blessing that too and then asking for the AI to let you in so you can bless his chamber from potential harm. The fire extinguisher will allow you to easily bless rooms because it will affect every tile that the water travels on. You can tell if a tile is blessed when it glows yellow after a little while.
