The lively narratives and reflections make this book accessible to those engaging with what chaplaincy means for the first time, while the rigorous critical engagement with key issues makes this a key read for anyone seeking a fresh and global perspective on developments at the forefront of this swiftly growing and diversifying field of ministry.
The volume explores what chaplaincy means in contemporary and global settings. It takes seriously the intersectionality of both practitioners and recipients of chaplaincy ministry, centering factors such as race, gender and disability, alongside political, missional and denominational considerations.

Reviews / Votes
"This book is a kaleidoscope of contemporary, creative and global perspectives on chaplaincy as a site of doing public theology. Diverse voices, divergent themes, decolonial offerings, dialogical engagements and deep-critical reflections makes this book a delightful read, de-enveloping multi-faceted layers of chaplaincy. A timely and a relevant guide for those interested in translating faith into creative action in the public sphere." -- Raj Bharat Patta "As the field of chaplaincy itself continues to both broaden and strengthen, this book embraces a diversity of themes, facilitating a platform for and welcoming new writers and those whose authentic voices may otherwise remain unheard. It is a welcome contribution to enable the value of chaplaincy to be identified with by a wider audience." -- Anne EdwardsMore details
