Topic: ADDING VALUE TO CHAPLAINCY PROFESSION AND PRACTICE

WELCOME: I welcome you all severally and collectively to this month’s uncommon chaplaincy practice detailing training. Please always remember that your contributions are highly valued and you should contribute generously, without hesitation and freely too.

This is also an interactive practice detailing, which provides us with the needed professional collegial interaction stipulated by our profession (chaplaincy) in training process. The Anchor.

PREAMBLE: Beloved practicing chaplains, adding value is relative; this simply means that value is not just the same thing to everybody. What some people consider to be of value to them is not of value to others.

However, no matter the relativeness and relativity of value amongst people, there are fundamental and globally accepted values, they are as follows:-

1.     Honesty.

2.     Integrity.

3.     Goodness.

4.     Kindness.

5.     Empathy etc.

There are religious values, community values, societal values, professional values and occupational values. We must also not lose sight of the fact that value also is individualistic, which gives rise to what is known as personal or individual values. Personal and individual values if not maintain properly is a sure factor of relationship and marital conflict.

Our concern is how we are to add value to our profession – chaplaincy, its practice and services we offer and how to add value to our various clients. Our concentration will be focused on what we have listed.

CHAPLAINCY PROFESSION: Beloved practicing chaplains, it has been discovered that the profession, chaplaincy cannot add value to herself as there is no known profession in the world that possesses such ability.

Practicing professional practioners of every profession endeavor to take responsibility for adding value to their profession via:

a.     Professional practice and service delivery.

b.     Attracting people to their profession by projecting and repositioning the profession properly and adequately in the public.

c.      Making their profession people friendly.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE: Professional practice does not have the ability as well to add value to itself. The professional practioners are responsible for adding value to their practices and service delivery in the public as they discharge their legitimate duties in their practices.

PEOPLE OR CLIENTS: It has also been discovered that professional practioners are expected to add value to people’s lives in their professional practices and service delivery as they offer care and services that:

a.     Bring an improvement to the living conditions and health of the people they are called to serve.

b.     Help to bring or give meaning to people in life.

c.      Help to make life more enjoyable and pleasant for people.

d.     Help to rekindle hopes in their hopeless situations and assuring them that their Creator can never forget them nor abandon them.
