Daring Compassion Movement Chaplaincy

The Daring Compassion Movement Chaplaincy Project is aimed at advancing the emerging vocational role of Movement Chaplain. Movement Chaplaincy is the work of spiritual accompaniment to social justice movements and their leaders. Just as there are chaplains who attend to the spiritual needs of people in hospitals, colleges, corporations and other settings, there is a need for those who can fill this role within our movements for social change.

While justice movements have become increasingly receptive in recent years to spiritual technologies, individuals need more spiritual support to thrive and attend to the needs of the communities they serve. Our movements lack a cadre of trained and accountable spiritual care practitioners. Daring Compassion offers the training, networks, and structures of accountability Movement Chaplains need to be purposeful, resilient spiritual practitioners.
