Private School Chaplaincy
While we often mean college or university chaplaincy when we discuss spiritual care in educational settings, one field of the profession does serve private institutions at the secondary level. Join us for a discussion on spiritual care for teenage individuals at the ninth through twelfth grade levels, especially in private institutions where community considerations are unique and require close attention from chaplains.
We’ll be joined by:
