THE
ESSENCE OF COMMUNITY CHAPLAINCY.
Chaplaincy as we all know is a child of circumstance born
out of empathy, strong emotional status and spiritual outlook.
Whether we live as home boys and girls, old and
young, in our small grouped native environment or are exposed to people of
different backgrounds, creed, ethnicity and affiliation found in the division
of difference geographical locations known as communities, one phenomenon is
inevitable “cross road experience”
In the case
of our profession ancestor martius of tours, it was a man found on the way to
his (martius) barrack who was freezing helplessly death. Since it happened on a
road, other people may have selfishly by passed the lying man without providing
succor and spiritual considerations.
In our own
present day, the picture may be different
but the signal is still the same, “ assist the helpless mortals”.
Selfish
ambitions have made the world crazy, both public officials and some of the
members of public inclusive syphoning fund meant for internally displaced
persons (IDPS), crazy bills by power distribution companies without prepaid
meters, payment of sanitation bills without service, extensive detention of
suspects by arms bearing agencies without trials’ oligarchy disposition of the
ruling class etc. Are very much freezing to the gullible and helpless members
of the society even to the point of death. In essence the professional chaplain
should braze up now and save life. `
