Chaplaincy is a Noble Profession


Chaplaincy is a Noble Profession
Every profession known to the world has some slogans and statements, chaplaincy profession is not an exemption. Chaplaincy is a noble profession is one of such statements or slogans.
This particular statement or slogan is a true statement, but has a meaning. People who are endowed with sound and analytical minds will be able to bring out uch meanings.
Go along with me on this journey and discourse, as I endeavor to make known to you all the nobility ascribed to chaplaincy profession which makes the profession unique and special as a noble profession.
The nobility chaplaincy enjoys comes from the followings:-
1.     Superiority of mind or character of the professionals called “Chaplains.”
2.     Excellence performance of chaplains at all times.
3.     The state of being of high rank as a profession.
4.     Patrician dignity.
5.     Distinction by rank and competence.
6.     Grandeur, greatness and dignity of the profession.
7.     Elevation and worthiness of the practioners.
8.     Loftiness of character on the part of practioners.
9.     Moral excellence of practioners who were considered to be epitome of morality.
10.                        Elevation of mind and exaltation of character or ideals or conducts.
Beloved chaplains, remember that whatever nobility we have enjoyed in chaplaincy, had been labored for and earned by practicing chaplains who came into chaplaincy profession ahead of us and we must endeavor to jealously guard such for sustenance.
We should not engage in whatever may dent the image of our noble profession chaplaincy or bring it to disrepute. Chaplaincy remains a noble profession, do not destroy it.
