Chaplaincy has emerged as a highly significant form of ministry in
the twenty-first century, and chaplaincy studies is growing as a
field of study that learns from the experience and work of
chaplains in their diverse sectors. Chaplains from a range of
different faith traditions pioneer ministry within the secular yet
religiously plural contexts of contemporary life with often
considerable creativity and skill, generating a wealth of insight
to be gleaned for understanding the place of faith in the modern
world. One of the disciplines that has been most concerned with
gleaning those insights and developing the field of chaplaincy
studies is practical theology. The journal Practical Theology
(formerly Contact) is a key repository for much of the wisdom
gained through such study, and this book draws on the archive of
the journal to trace the development of chaplaincy research and
provide a resource for those seeking to join the conversation about
the nature and significance of chaplaincy as a form of ministry and
mission today. Drawing on different sectors of chaplaincy and
different methodological approaches, this book is invaluable for
those engaged in chaplaincy work, those seeking to research that
work, and for anyone interested in contemporary, pioneering forms
of ministry.
