Responding to life itself: a proposed understanding of domain, goal and interventions for chaplaincy in a secular age

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

In this article, we present a model of chaplaincy in a secular age which includes, in one coherent system: domain, goal and an intervention pathway. The domain is presented as the process of “responding to life itself”. A corresponding goal of chaplaincy is considered in the context of “existential well-being”. This goal can be achieved through the proposed “The Ritual Bath Model” based on these new defined concepts.
