A Vital Ministry describes the situation of the `post-millennium'
generation of the young as threatening to their human flourishing.
Their economic, political and cultural context is potentially
oppressive, and the education system in this country no longer
seeks to provide `spiritual capital' to resource the young. The
special role of Church of England schools is to provide a holistic
education which values the spiritual dimension, genuinely
encouraging the personal and spiritual development of young people
as `children of God'. Drawing on the testimony both of school
chaplains and school students, the book argues that the chaplain's
ministry of pastoral care has a key part to play in the fostering
of personal spiritual development, and that the role of the
chaplain as a liturgical leader can open up the spiritual realm for
students. The Church needs to take seriously this vital but
neglected ministry, the book concludes, arguing for better
recognition, professional support and development.
