Wendy Cadge and Shelly Rambo demonstrate the urgent need, highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, to position the long history and practice of chaplaincy within the rapidly changing landscape of American religion and spirituality. This book provides a much-needed road map for training and renewing chaplains across a professional continuum that spans major sectors of American society, including hospitals, prisons, universities, the military, and nursing homes.
Written by a team of multidisciplinary experts and drawing on ongoing research at the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab at Brandeis University, Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care in the Twenty-First Century identifies three central competenciesindividual, organizational, and meaning-makingthat all chaplains must have, and it provides the resources for building those skills. Featuring profiles of working chaplains, the book positions intersectional issues of religious diversity, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and other markers of identity as central to the future of chaplaincy as a profession.

PRAISE FOR Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care in the Twenty-First Century: An Introduction

This timely book looks at the evolution of chaplaincy as a profession; the academic and clinical education that prepares chaplains for ministry within interfaith, multicultural contexts; and the diverse identities of todays chaplains. It is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in understanding the unique role chaplains embrace as spiritual leaders.

CHAPLAIN TAHARA AKMAL, clinical pastoral education manager at MedStar Washington Hospital Center and ACPE certified educator

This wonderful book provides perhaps the clearest picture yet of what it means to be a chaplain in the twenty-first century, how to be a chaplain, and why chaplaincy deserves a central place among the professions of caregiving. It should be essential reading for not only chaplains in training and in practice but any caregiver committed to healing and wholeness.

KENNETH PARGAMENT, author of Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy: Understanding and Addressing the Sacred

A unique and excellent introduction to the work and training of professional chaplains, this textbook directly addresses contemporary issues, particularly with regard to changing demographics and the increasingly diverse contexts in which chaplains find need for their work in institutions and communities of all kinds. On a broader level, the authors shine a light on the ubiquity and significance of matters pertaining to the spiritual, religious, and meaning-making aspects of human experience.

JOYCE MERCER, associate dean for academic affairs and Horace Bushnell Professor of Practical Theology and Pastoral Care, Yale Divinity School

We are living in harrowing times. Increasingly, chaplains and spiritual care practitioners serve a first-responder role for those in crisis. This book is a must-read for those invested in understanding the nuances, strengths, and challenges facing this burgeoning ecosystem of care, including the wise, generous people who constitute it.

REV. JENNIFER BAILEY, author of To My Beloveds: Letters on Faith, Race, Loss and Radical Hope and founder and executive director of Faith Matters Network

In identifying and explicating key core competencies shared by chaplains functioning across a variety of settings, this book is an excellent resource for a profession seeking to be responsive to the rapidly changing religious landscape of the twenty-first century and the accompanying shifts to the spiritual care needs of persons they serve.

JASON NIEUWSMA, Duke University School of Medicine and Vanderbilt University Divinity School

What does a chaplain do? Seems a simple question, but the answer is far from it. Thanks to the careful and diligent work of Wendy Cadge, Shelly Rambo, and the volume contributors, Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care in the Twenty-First Century offers long-needed and comprehensive insight into this valuable vocation.

REAR ADMIRAL MARGARET GRUN KIBBEN, chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives

Addressing specific cross-context competencies, the history of chaplaincy in the United States, and the importance of a wide variety of trainings for different contexts, this volume breaks down silos between different types of chaplaincy and demonstrates how and why chaplaincy is the future of organized religious and spiritual life in America.

Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care in the Twenty-First Century

An Introduction

WENDY CADGE and SHELLY RAMBO

Debra, a middle-aged white chaplain who serves the homeless outside a major American city, may appear at first glance to have little in common with chaplains in healthcare, the military, prisons, and other more traditional places chaplains work. She did research about homeless women as an undergraduate, raised children who are now adults, and started volunteering with the pastoral care department at a local hospital at the same time she joined a Unitarian Universalist congregation. One time I just came from this amazing visit with somebody [at the hospital], she explained in an interview, and I said to the chaplain, Is there a place that you can learn more about this? The chaplain sent Debra to her mentor, and a few months later Debra was enrolled in theological school. She took every pastoral care class the school offered and did field education along the way at the small nonprofit where she now works. The organization hired her part-time while she was finishing her degree, and she is now its director. Debra is not a formal chaplain, in her words, because I dont have four units of clinical pastoral education, or CPE (an acronym used throughout this book). Her time is spent doing spiritual companioning and accompaniment while walking the streets, visiting local homeless shelters and soup kitchens, talking with careseekers, going with people to appointments, offering meditation or Bible study or a spiritual arts program, and otherwise being of support to the unhoused in her city.

Debras workand her path to itis quite different from that of Mark, an African American National Guard chaplain, who works just a few miles away. He was serving a local parish when he received a letter in the mail saying the Guard was looking for chaplains. Family connections in the military led him to explore the idea and eventually to join the Guard as a chaplain on a part-time basis. He moved into leadership and today oversees all Guard chaplains in the statework he carries out in addition to his weekly church responsibilities. I will be doing an Ash Wednesday service here in a few days, he explained in an interview. Sometimes I meet with individuals or couples, and I provide pastoral care and support to the chaplains. I also set the training plans for how the chaplains and chaplain assistants will continue to be trained. And I help explain the chaplaincy to senior leadership. This explanation is based in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In his words, The chaplaincy is tied to the First Amendment and the free exercise of religion, which is complicated. People might be spiritual and not religious, which would be most senior leaders that Im talking to so I have to explain what chaplaincy isthat it is inextricably connected to religion, although were there for people regardless of whether theyre religious or not. Much of his work, he says, is being a cheerleader for them [chaplains], to the senior leadership, so that they can continue to grasp what it is that we continue to bring to the table. Mark completed CPE before being ordained, and he did additional chaplaincy training as part of his professional development in the military.
