Welcome to Episode 77. In this episode, I, David Oliver Kling, will be talking about what is a chaplain?  I have been working as a full-time hospice chaplain since December of 2013 and prior to my work in hospice, I completed 4 units of Clinical Pastoral Education as a chaplain resident at St. Mary's Medical Center in Huntington, West Virginia.  What is a Chaplain? Good advice for anyone interested in chaplaincy would be to suspend your sectarianism. Does being a Chaplain mean I'll have to do things I don't want to do? Chaplaincy brings up all of our personal issues and creates its own anxieties. Do Chaplains reject academic insight and knowledge?  A Chaplain is someone who reflects theologically and who uses their theological reflection to inform and empower their care for others. How does a Chaplain do an assessment?  Links: Convergent Streams: The Premier ISM Magazine. This podcast is hosted by David Oliver Kling and is produced by the Community of Saint George (a Young Rite jurisdiction).
