Sinopsis

Chaplains go where others will not or cannot go. As culture changes and becomes more secular, chaplains have become societyâÇÖs new 'pastors.' Chaplains fulfill aásacred callingáto accompany and provide professional support and spiritual nurture for everyone in their distinctive secular communities, which authorize and hold them accountable. A chaplainâÇÖs ministry requires specialized knowledge, competencies, and an understanding of its unique opportunities and challenges. With forty-four contributors,áthe second editionáofáThe Heart of a Chaplaináthoroughly examines what a chaplain is along with the foundations, uniqueness, and professional qualifications of chaplaincy. This book surveys six major chaplain categories, revealing the rich diversity of ministry. In addition to a mentoring tool and an extensive resource section, this second edition adds reflection questions, case studies, and several additional chapters, including a brief survey on the global nature of chaplaincy. The 'memorable moments' of chaplains will leave you laughing or crying with joy.
