Africa and
Chaplaincy Work or Enterprise
Africa with a population of about 800 million people,
presents a fertile ground for chaplaincy works and enterprise. This huge
population support profitable chaplaincy enterprises and works. In almost all sectors of the economy,
chaplaincy enterprise and works are different. For example:
1.
In the healthcare
sector, there are:
a.
Hospital
chaplaincy practice.
b.
Palliative care
centers.
c.
Hospice care
centers.
d.
Mental health
care centers.
e.
Psycho-social
therapeutic centers.
Where people can obtain quality care services without
traveling overseas. However, we must grow the professionals who will offer such
services first.
2.
Africa is blessed
with numerous families and communities, who desire to have the services of:
a.
Family chaplains,
counselors or therapists.
b.
Community
chaplains.
c.
Marriage
chaplains.
d.
Children counselors,
chaplains or therapists.
e.
Psycho-social
therapists.
f.
Psycho-spiritual
therapists etc.
To attend to people having one problem or the other in
their personal lives, family lives, professional lives, marital lives, social
lives etc.
Indeed, Africa is a fertile
ground!
Africa my
Continent:
1.
Africa deserves
to have the right concept of chaplaincy as obtained in other continents of the
world.
2.
Africa deserve to
have the right chaplaincy education like her counterparts in the developed
nations of the world.
3.
Africa deserves
to enjoy global best chaplaincy practice like her counterparts in the world.
4.
Africa deserves
to enjoy best chaplaincy service delivery like her counterparts in the world.
5.
Africa deserves
to enjoy the beauty of professional chaplaincy practice and service delivery in
the form of specializations just as her counterparts in the other parts of the
world do.
Chaplains
in Africa, of African descent and people from other parts of the world may help
us; but chaplains in Africa must take upon themselves the responsibility of
ushering in profitable and beneficial chaplaincy practice and service delivery
to the continent of Africa.
