In the second essay, we take the opportunity to explore your theology of chaplaincy. As a Christian certifying agency, it is important for us to see a manifest understanding of the origins of our faith tradition and its belief structure, as well as how you apply such insights into your delivery of spiritual care as a professional chaplain. A complete essay address the following competencies:
- Core foundations of the Christian faith and my denomination’s expression of it
- Central tenants of pastoral and spiritual caregiving from my faith tradition
- How I integrate psychological and sociological theory and the behavioral sciences in my vision and provision of spiritual care
- My awareness of the many ways that spirituality may manifest at different stages of life, including childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and in later years
- How you, as a provider of spiritual care, can adapt your practices based on such insights
- How you, as a provider of spiritual care, can be present to others who do not share the same faith
