What a Chaplain Looks Like

Donna Mote

Reverend Donna S. Mote, PhD

Missioner for Engagement and Innovation in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta

Chaplain to the 76th Support Brigade, Georgia State Defense Force

I embody presence in ordinary and ambiguous situations, give attention to details that often might be indexed as irrelevant, and hold space for all kinds of information and emotions to be expressed without judgment.

I offer an awareness of and a conduit to the sacred, including the sacred dimensions of the mundane. I accompany people through passages and transitions both easy and difficult and help them to remember what they know, to draw from their own internal resources as they make meaning and cope.

I bear witness to service and sacrifice for the common good.
