- For far too long, chaplaincy has been a fragmented and divided field that has not spoken up for itself.
- If we do not speak up, professional chaplaincy will be marginalized.
- If we do not speak up, the next generation of chaplains will suffer.
- If we do not speak up, people in spiritual distress will not receive the spiritual care that they desire.
That must change!
