Chaplaincy
and Psycho-spiritual Care Practice
Beloved
chaplains, greetings; Professional chaplaincy and psychospiritual care practice
and service delivery is both nature centered, in the sense that it is:-
a.
Human centered.
b.
Animal centered.
c.
Inanimate
centered.
d.
Environmental
centered.
Because of the above points, professionals must learn
to develop and cultivate positive relationship with nature. Chaplaincy is all
about building relationship. People have passion for different things, because
we are not equally talented nor endowed with same temperament. Because of the
above reasons, people behave differently in any given situation, and react to
things differently.
As professionals who understand human beings and
animals to some extent or degree and opt to offer services to both human beings
and animals, we must of necessity avail ourselves with the knowledge of
behavioural science.
As professional care and service providers, we are
expected to begin with identifying the felt needs of the people in various
communities of our society and nation, make ourselves ready to meet with such
felt needs.
We should also endeavor to discover the area of
gifting or giftedness of people, allowing them to function therein for best and
optimal results. People’s attitude help to shapen their behavioural and they
should be allowed and with professionals at hand to help in guiding them and
working with people to effect a necessary change in people’s behaviours.
Professional chaplains, spiritual care and
psychospiritual care practioners can learn to become behavioural therapists.
Chaplaincy is scientific in nature and scope. Professional practioners who will
not have anything to do with science is not qualified to engage in clinical
chaplaincy and spiritual care practice.
