Chaplaincy Practice
and Service Delivery a Panacea for Corruption
Corruption has subtly eaten into the fabrics of all and
sundry requiring all cure and remedy which can only be found in professional
chaplaincy practice and service delivery.
Corruption is a pollution, an affliction and
adulteration of the mind and only chaplaincy practice and service delivery can provide
an all cure to the seeming pollution and destruction.
Corruption is known to be in existence in all arms of
government which makes systemic overhauling inevitable. Such systemic overhauling
can only be carried out by professional chaplains who are qualified mind-menders
and attitudinal and behavioural therapists. What an opportunity for chaplains?
With all subtlety, corruption has penetrated
individuals, families, groups, public institutions, educational institutions,
civil service workers, religious organizations, professional organizations etc.,
sparing no one; requiring surgical operation which only chaplaincy practice can
offer.
This is the
reason why professional chaplaincy practice and service delivery is the panacea
and therapeutic cure for corruption:
Remember corruption originates from the pollution of
the mind, the heart, the emotion of individuals which alters one’s attitude and
behavior negatively.
The therapeutic cure for corruption remains,
professional chaplaincy practice and service delivery which has the capacity to
offer behavioural and attitudinal change which will counter the pollution in
the mind of the people, allowing them to rightly think with the right
intensions. What a wonderful opportunity for chaplains!
