As the global marketplace grows and becomes more complex,
increasing stress is placed upon employees. Businesses are
acknowledging this change in work habits by adapting the work place
to offer support through multifaith chaplaincy. Multifaith
chaplaincy is based on developing relationships of trust between
diverse faith communities and the public workplace. Through the
experience of starting the first multifaith chaplaincy in Canary
Wharf, the author offers insights into current conditions and
challenges of chaplaincy in the business community. Writing as an
Anglican priest, Fiona Stewart-Darling shows the importance of
chaplaincy teams drawing on different faith traditions. This book
is an important contribution to the emerging debate around the role
of chaplaincy in faith and business communities. This research will
be of particular interest to those working in or setting up
chaplaincies in different contexts such as hospitals, prisons, town
centre chaplaincies working with businesses and business leaders,
particularly those involved in diversity and inclusion in the
workplace.
