For ten years, he was senior pastor of the Wilmore Free Methodist Church near Lexington, Kentucky, where he also taught, mentored, and supervised ministerial students at Asbury Theological Seminary and Asbury University. During his long and varied career as a clergyman, he served as senior chaplain at the Naval Base Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California; serving also on the aircraft carrier USS America and several other naval ships and installations.

Book Synopsis The Role of a Community Chaplain in a Marginalised Urban Community by : Noah O. Okiror
Download or read book The Role of a Community Chaplain in a Marginalised Urban Community written by Noah O. Okiror and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents findings of further research into the concept I started in my previous book: the importance of dying to self and its implications for outreach to unchurched children in isolated communities. It was centered on our Lord Jesuss call for all to deny themselves in order to follow him. If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me (Luke 9:23). Gods ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8). We have to lose in order to gain (Philippians 3:78), we have to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves (Matthew 10:39), we have to die in order to live (John 12:24), and if you want victory, you have to first surrender (watch the War Room movie). This book delves deeper into the practical aspects of reaching a specific demographic of unchurched children in Jane-Finch.

They also consider the person of the chaplain and the understanding of chaplaincy as Christian ministry. In the second half of the book, the authors bring together expert contributors to survey ten specific contexts for chaplaincy work, such as education, healthcare, the military, corporations, prisons, public safety, and sports, and they explore the future of chaplaincy.

Book Synopsis The Presence of a Chaplain by : Dr. Barbara Thomas-Reddick
Download or read book The Presence of a Chaplain written by Dr. Barbara Thomas-Reddick and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-07-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand the purpose, the mission, and the relevance of this research titled The Presence of a Chaplain, I believe sharing my life story will give the reader in-depth insight and demonstrate the importance of including chaplains on multi-interdisciplinary teams. This writer believes that if chaplaincy is considered to be included in diverse systems, the student, parent/guardian, would benefit holistically, and the chaplains presence along would make a difference in the public and private schools, particularly but not limited to, when our children are challenged with depression, bullying, suicidal, and low self-esteem. When a chaplain is present to provide the listening ear, our children would have an outlet to share their concerns, thoughts, and problems to a credentialed, qualified, and trained chaplain. Chaplains are trained to remain available and journey wherever the child or individual maybe, reaching them with the holistic plan of care; mind, body, and soul. Being ever so mindful, to recognize when it is time to transition and pass the baton by making referrals when the matter is out of your scope of practice.
Book Synopsis Chaplaincy: A Ministry of Presence by : Matt Sanders
Download or read book Chaplaincy: A Ministry of Presence written by Matt Sanders and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of the role of chaplaincy is PRESENCE. This manual, designed for new chaplains, explores four dimensions of presence: (1) As the chaplain is present to him/herself with compassion and awareness, and (2) is present to The Presence with sensitivity and authenticity, he/she then (3) moves outward to others with simple, skillful means to help lighten their loads in life, and (4) helps others to connect more deeply to The Presence in ways that serve their highest good. This is part training manual, part memoir, part prayer book, and part self-care handbook. The author provides practical suggestions for pastoral support, and prayer with others, offers bits of wisdom to apply in one's ministry, and uses stories from his pastoral work in detention and hospital ministries to provide concrete examples of ways to apply these ideas. Additionally, this book is meant to help the chaplain nurture his/her own soul through self-care and prayer.
Book Synopsis In God's Presence by : Benjamin L. Miller
Download or read book In God's Presence written by Benjamin L. Miller and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When thousands of young men in the North and South marched off to fight in the Civil War, another army of men accompanied them to care for these soldiers’ spiritual needs. In God’s Presence explores how these two cohorts of men, Northern and Southern and mostly Christian, navigated the challenges of the Civil War on battlefields and in military camps, hospitals, and prisons. In wartime, military clergy—chaplains and missionaries—initially attempted to replicate the idyllic world of the antebellum church. Instead they found themselves constructing a new religious world—one in which static spaces customarily invested with religious meaning, such as houses and churches, gave way to dynamic sacred spaces defined by clergy to suit changing wartime circumstances. At the same time, the religious beliefs that soldiers brought from home differed from the religious practices that allowed them to endure during wartime. With reference to Civil War soldiers’ diaries, letters, and memoirs, this book asks how clergy shaped these practices; how they might have differed from camp to battlefield, hospital, or prison; and how this experience affected postbellum religious belief and practice. Religion and war have always been at the center of the human condition, with warfare often leading to heightened religiosity. The Civil War cannot be fully explained without understanding religion’s role in the conflict. In God’s Presence advances this understanding by offering critical insight into the course and consequences of America’s epochal fratricidal war.
Book Synopsis A Ministry of Presence by : Winnifred Fallers Sullivan
Download or read book A Ministry of Presence written by Winnifred Fallers Sullivan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it appropriate, or even legal, for government to provide spiritual care for its citizens? Winnifred Fallers Sullivan shows that courts and administrative agencies have, for better or for worse, already decided this question. Religious freedom in American today means government affirmatively providing opportunities for Americans to encounter their religious selves and realize their religious commitments. How did this happen? The answer, Sullivan shows, is an emerging religious practice--the ministry offered by chaplains in secular settings, generally called a ministry of presence. In this eye-opening book, Sullivan details the legal recognition and regulation of the spiritual care delivered by governmental and quasi-governmental chaplaincies, as well as by chaplaincies within ostensibly private but regulated industries, such as hospitals and colleges. Across America today, there are chaplains in airports, fire departments, prisons, hospitals, the military, unions, and even businesses and workplaces. Chaplains operate at the intersection of the sacred and the secular, brokers responsible for ministering to the wandering souls of a globalized economy while sacralizing institutions we generally consider unmarked by any religious identity. A book with profound implications for how we understand the relationship between religion and law in contemporary America, "A Ministry of Presence" will interest readers in legal studies, religious studies, sociology, and public policy.

Download or read book Paging God written by Wendy Cadge and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-18 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the modern science of medicine often seems nothing short of miraculous, religion still plays an important role in the past and present of many hospitals. When three-quarters of Americans believe that God can cure people who have been given little or no chance of survival by their doctors, how do today’s technologically sophisticated health care organizations address spirituality and faith? Through a combination of interviews with nurses, doctors, and chaplains across the United States and close observation of their daily routines, Wendy Cadge takes readers inside major academic medical institutions to explore how today’s doctors and hospitals address prayer and other forms of religion and spirituality. From chapels to intensive care units to the morgue, hospital caregivers speak directly in these pages about how religion is part of their daily work in visible and invisible ways. In Paging God: Religion in the Halls of Medicine, Cadge shifts attention away from the ongoing controversy about whether faith and spirituality should play a role in health care and back to the many ways that these powerful forces already function in healthcare today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great task before Christian workers, chaplains in particular, is to find a way to work within the systems of this world in order to redeem and sanctify those systems in the authority of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who sends them. Chaplains are present in some of the darkest, most impoverished, oppressed, and immoral places on this earth. Their mission is very clear: to be present with the brokenhearted and needy, while working with and within the systems that affect the lives of those they seek to help.
Book Synopsis The Theology of Chaplaincy in Modern Society by : Wynne Dion Berry Sr
Download or read book The Theology of Chaplaincy in Modern Society written by Wynne Dion Berry Sr and published by Howard Publishing Press LLC. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people view ministers by their titles and try to distinguish them within those roles. When all the titles are removed, at the core of any position of service is the spirit of one "called" to wait on others and serve in the spirit of humility; not because of a title, but by the call of God and the passion to serve others in need. Jesus was a great example of someone of the highest distinguishing factors, who served in humbleness of heart, and with the passion of a servant minister. Within theology of Scripture, the word "chaplain" is not in the Bible, such as the office of pastor, evangelist, prophet, teacher, apostle or disciple. However, the words serve, servant, and minister reside all throughout Scripture to remind us of who we are and what we are really called to do in service to others. Today, chaplaincy varies by denominations and beliefs, whether within a religious order or secular business, prison or hospital, university or sports teams, military or government body. Even so, it is still considered ministry or service to others, in a manner that represents morality and moral character. In this book, the author takes us down the rewarding yet challenging road of "chaplains" in modern society and their impact on families, communities, and the Kingdom of God. This book will be an asset to you whether you serve as a lay member, minister, teacher, evangelist, pastor or chaplain. A chaplain is no more than a servant of God outside of the traditional church setting, serving people in the time of need and crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible uses hundreds of metaphors but the one that has attracted my attention the most is that of "God as Rock". In this book we have tried to follow this rich vein of gold from Genesis to Revelation. We have discovered a treasure of stones that speak of God's relationship with us. We trace the metaphor through the Old Testament, coming squarely to the feet of Jesus, the Cornerstone revealed, rejected and restored. At the end of our study, we will discover a mystery stone that may surprise you as you contemplate the final events God has in store for us. E. Dean Cook is a retired Navy chaplain, Captain, with a doctoral degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. Besides the Navy, his service included tours with the Marine Corps and Coast Guard. He taught at Roberts Wesleyan College and later pastored the Wilmore Free Methodist Church. There he also supervised theological students.
