Master of Chaplaincy Studies Lesson 6


Police, Prison and Emergency Response Chaplain hold a very unique
position. Unlike most other environments in which a chaplain may find
him/herself, this environment is one in which the chaplain will likely
be put in dangers way at times.

The chaplain in these positions will inherently be trained to help
people in dire need and will often be placed in positions which will
test them to the very core, presenting all forms of potential attacks,
physical, verbal/mental, and spiritual. The chaplain here needs to be
able to help others and lead by example.

Unlike other forms of chaplaincy, the prison and emergency response
chaplain will need to response quickly and appropriately to stimuli in
his/her line of duty.

The requirements, as stated in the lesson, will vary by level, but
generally require evidence of related education and skills, as well as
several hours of experience or training.

I will study the topis more to understand this position better in the future.

Sincerely,
    Aaron Norris
