At a recent conference of ANGLICARE Chaplains in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney one of our chaplains floated the idea that we could support each other by sharing book reviews and discussing ideas with theological reflection on the ministry we do in hospitals, prisons and aged care facilities.
This blog is a response to that. The hope is that we will also interact with others as well and so engage in a wide discussion of the nature of Christian Chaplaincy from an Evangelical perspective.
The first article will appear shortly. (At least, someone has promised an article, and I will do my best to get it up within a reasonable time.)
In the mean time, any comments you have will be welcomed and we look forward to interacting with you on the things chaplains get up to and how we reflect on this ministry.
This blog is a place for people who work in hard places to reflect theologically on pastoral care and practical theology from an Evangelical Christian perspective. Contributors are invited to write and anyone is free to respond.

Sounds like a great idea. :-) I assume you're looking for reviews and articles specifically on the theme of chaplaincy?
ReplyDeleteHi Dave. Great to hear from you. Yes. It's all about chaplaincy. Specifically we want to bring a strong evangelical Christian emphasis into the discussion on what chaplaincy is about and how we go about it.
