The Fundamentals: The Why, What, Who and How of Chaplaincy (The Chaplain Skillset Series Book 1)
The Chaplain Skillset Series will touch upon the primary points which any minister should consider to become a highly skilled and competent chaplain. The series may not be exhaustive for all the nuances of chaplaincy, but it will strive to be as comprehensive as possible in forming an effective foundation. The Series has a three-fold purpose. It is designed for: 1) individuals who are unfamiliar with the unique field of chaplaincy, 2) for laity or clergy who are discerning whether or not to go into chaplain ministry, and 3) for seasoned clergy and chaplains who simply want to revisit the tried and true skill sets which produce an excellence in chaplaincy.
The Series begins with this initial volume, The Fundamentals. This first volume will attempt to succinctly answer four basic questions: “Why the need for Chaplains?†“What is Chaplaincy?†“Who can be a Chaplain?†and the most practical question for you, the reader, “How is chaplaincy administered? How does it work?†The last chapter will attempt to succeed in “Bringing the Pieces Together†for you through the presentation of three clinical verbatims.
Future volumes in the series will delve deeper into the challenging topics of Developing Skillsets for Handling Trauma and Crisis Situations, Understanding the Diverse Spiritual Expressions of World Faiths and Spirituality, Mastering Spiritual Assessment, and a volume of essays on the topic on Religious Perspectives of Suffering. Other volumes will review the unique skill sets needed for various forms of chaplaincy such as law enforcement, EMS/fire, workplace, and hospice, as well as look into emerging chaplain specialties such as the new integrative chaplain.
