[External] Information Session: Candler DMin with Chaplaincy Track
Candler School of Theology invites the Lab community to two information sessions on the school’s new DMin with Chaplaincy Track.
From our partner:
Candler School of Theology at Emory University offers an online/hybrid Doctor of Ministry so you can earn your degree benefit from a top-25 university while staying rooted in your place of ministry, no matter where you are.
Choose from four tracks, including Chaplaincy. Scholarships available. Join Candler for an information session on April 29 — register here.
Learn more about this school here. Candler participated in a previous Lab project on chaplaincy education, which you can learn about here. Educating Effective Chaplains focused on three tasks critical for preparing professional chaplains for effective ministry:
- The project synthesized current scholarship and practitioner expertise about the nature of effective chaplaincy and evaluates the extent to which theological schools can and should support the development of effective chaplains.
- The project identified specific skills and competences required for chaplaincy, both universally and in specific sectors (i.e. the military, healthcare, prisons, etc.), and analyzed how theological education currently supports the development of those skills and competencies.
- The project supported theological educators in strengthening their scholarship, their curricula, and their partnerships with clinical educators to better train future generations of chaplains in light of broader changes in American religious demographics.
This project’s participants and leadership team also contributed to the Lab’s presence within the American Academy of Religion, through the program unit Innovations in Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care.
