Abstract:
This series of articles has explored the changing face of contemporary healthcare chaplaincy. In this final article, the author proposes a way through disorientation (article one) and imbalances of power (article two) to a future in which patients offer a leading role in shaping chaplains’ spirituality (ontology) and formation (epistemology).
