Chaplaincy: The Church's Sector Ministries

by Giles Legood (Editor)

The establishment and dramatic rise in the number of chaplaincies and chaplaincy posts has been one of the attempts made by the church to respond to the changes of modern life. Working amidst the dilemmas of our contemporary society, frequently with those who are not church members - those the church claims it most wants to reach - sector ministries have much to contribute to the question of what roles the church should adopt in the future.
In Chaplaincy, contributions from people involved in a wide variety of different ministries, from hospitals and the armed forces to airports and shopping centres, are combined with pertinent analysis of the theological, sociological and professional issues of sector ministry.
