Our new campaign: THIS is What a Chaplain Looks Like
We think chaplains are interesting, inventive and as diverse as the people and settings they serve. But sometimes, the images associated with chaplains and chaplaincy fail to communicate who chaplains really are. We think it’s time to change how the world views chaplains, and we will need your help.
This October, the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab is launching “THIS is What a Chaplain Looks Like”, a campaign to show real chaplains and their work to the world. We want YOU to be part of this!
Help us showcase chaplains at work …
We want YOU to get involved and help show the world that “THIS is What a Chaplain Looks Like” in 2020 and beyond.
We’ve built a web page dedicated entirely to highlighting the incredible diversity of chaplains and how they serve. We hope to have hundreds of pictures of chaplains showcased on this page.
To participate, click here. Be sure to attach 1) a high-quality image of yourself (preferably an “action shot,” or a headshot will work) and 2) 100 words or less on the work you do and why it’s innovative. We’ll add your profile to our web page as soon as it’s ready to launch.
In the coming months, we’ll also highlight chaplains who are innovating in their education, in their practice, and in their entire approach to the profession of spiritual care.
Getting started: Ann Kansfield
We’re kicking off the series with our colleague Ann Kansfield, chaplain to the Fire Department of New York. You can read all about Ann’s work and her fascinating road to it here.
