Uniqueness and Distinction

Our uniqueness and distinctions as the pace-setters of professional chaplaincy body in Nigeria, the continent of Africa and beyond must be protected and upheld at all times.

Association of Professional Chaplains Inc. is uniquely and favourably positioned as the pace-setter chaplaincy professional body and practitioners to offer professional chaplaincy care and services to the general public in the continent of Africa and beyond.

The leadership of the association is not unaware of the fact that there are bound to be other professional chaplaincy bodies to enter into a kind of competition with our association and the leadership has proactively put in motion how to fortify our stand and standards in providing professional chaplaincy practice in meeting with the needs of care recipients in Nigeria, continent of Africa and beyond.

As professional chaplaincy, chaplaincy practice and service delivery continues its relevance in the world, and Nigeria and continent in Africa are not exempted from this relevance; there is an expectation that many more professional chaplaincy bodies will emerge. Nigeria and continent of Africa has enough space and population for such emergencies as witnessed in Britain (UK) 10 years back in the accounting or accountancy profession with:-

a.     ACA – Association of chartered accountants.

b.     ACCA – Association of certified chartered accountants.

c.      ACWA – Association of cost and works accounting.

d.     APA – Association of public accountants.

e.     ACIS – Association of chartered institute of secretaries and administrators.

Were in keen competition to grow professional accountants who were expected to provide accounting services to people in Britain and beyond.

In like manner, chaplaincy profession in Nigeria and continent of Africa is expected to take a cue from accountancy association of United Kingdom.

Every professional chaplaincy body or association must learn to maintain different ideology and develop their professionals to meet the demands of professional chaplaincy practice and service delivery and also be able to offer beneficial chaplaincy care and services according to chaplaincy codes of ethics and standards of practice and according to their various visions, goals and objectives.

The arrangement should prepare a level playground for all professional bodies and give room for healthy competition and practitioners who will always strive for excellence and global best chaplaincy practice.
