Description

Foundations of Chaplaincy: A Practical Guide provides an approachable overview of chaplaincy's nature, purpose, and functional roles. This unique ministry involves working outside a church setting, ministering to those with diverse religious convictions, often in secular organizations. The book surveys the biblical and theological foundations of chaplaincy before exploring four key responsibilities and skills that define its "ministry of presence": providing, facilitating, caring, and advising. Practical advice and anecdotes from over thirty chaplains are also included. With Foundations of Chaplaincy as a resource, those called to this important vocation can cultivate a strong, mission-driven pastoral identity rooted in their own theological tradition while participating in a multi-faith team.
