My Other Chaplaincy Sites

This lens is primarily about finding jobs as a chaplain; however, if you're interested in discovering more about a particular type of chaplaincy, such as healthcare, you might find more of what you're looking for in my other Squidoo sites.

Corporate Chaplains: Ministers in the Marketplace: Many companies are discovering the benefits of having a chaplain on hand to help employees deal with stress, marital problems, financial issues, grief, and a host of other personal and professional matters.
Fire & Police Chaplains: Ministry on Hell's Doorstep: The uniformed men and women who work in our police and fire departments see life at its very worst: human tragedy, violence, destruction, terrorism, criminal mayhem, and a host of other scenarios that few others ever face. It's an everyday occurence and it's more stress, mixed with a special sense of reward, than most of us could handle. Which is why chaplains are an integral part of these hero's lives.
Healthcare Chaplains: Some people never give serious thought to eternal things until a crisis erupts in their lives that require hospitalization, whether serious illness or accident. Hospitals work around the clock with teams of professionals dedicated to addressing the physical needs of their clientele, but many have recognized the contribution of chaplains-physicians of souls-in the overall healing process. Really astute healthcare managers realize that chaplains are part of the hospital's healing team.
Hospice Chaplains: Offering Hope at the End of Life: Hospice chaplains serve a very special role in the lives of those facing imminent death, including their close friends and family members. They offer biblical answers and compassionate counsel to everyone touched by this very sensitive and difficult experience. What an amazing ministry to offer real hope, prayer, encouragement, and a fresh perspective to those may be angry with God, or living in denial, or overwhelmed with grief. This lens is designed to introduce you to the world of hospice chaplains: their unique ministry, training, affiliations, professional development, and a variety of resources.
Military Chaplains: Serving God in Combat Boots: Every branch of military in Canada the United Kingdom and the United States employ ministers of many faith groups to work alongside service personnel, even in combat situations.

Great! But how do I get the question answered: I have no formal theological training, but feel God needs me to minister to people in need. How do I start?
