As a professional chaplain and member of the Spiritual Care Association, I do solemnly affirm by the spirit of life:

• that I will respect the religious and spiritual traditions of my patients, colleagues, as well as my own;
• that I will lead my life and practice the art and science of spiritual care in an honorable and ethical manner;
• that into whatsoever circumstance I enter, it shall be for the well-being of the people entrusted to my care;
• that I will respect the confidentiality of those who put their trust in me;
• that I will affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all;
• that I will promote peace among all people valuing our diverse gifts and celebrating our common origins.

May God grant in us the strength and inspiration to continue in this noble service.

Amen
