Chaplaincy for a Plural World provides a theoretical foundation for an inclusive understanding of chaplaincy and lays out key chaplaincy methods for providing spiritual care in a modern context. Inspired by recent humanist chaplaincy in the Netherlands and based on the interdisciplinary science of humanistic studies, the book explains chaplaincy as a multifaceted profession in which supporting people’s search for meaning in life is intertwined with the pursuit of humanizing organizations and society.
The book offers a wide range of methods and practical tools for use by a diverse group of readers: chaplains, other professionals or volunteers, and students in higher education who prepare themselves for spiritual care work in secularizing and pluralizing societies. These methods include such key areas of work as individual counseling, group work, ritual, educational activities, supporting the moral development of individuals, teams, and organizations, conducting research, and doing sociopolitical work. The book fills the meaning gap that secularization has left in Western societies and offers a hopeful perspective for all who strive for a humane and meaningful world.
