The work chaplains do is very important. Through the years they have brought comfort, aid and hope to an endless amount of people. Giving spiritual aid to hurting souls in their time of need, giving guidance to the lost and comfort to the ill. I was raised catholic but left the church in my youth but i have met and talked with many of chaplains in many different serving roles. I see them as doing the leg work for the Devine powers that be. I believe that the world needs them now maybe more then ever and for them to be even more diversified. As the world is growing and changing in so many and complex ways so are the problems and hurdles that Plague its inhabitants, on top of the ones that seem to have always been here. I believe the role for the modern chaplain is to be on the front lines so to speak with the people who are meeting these things head on. The world is growing further away from spirituality finding it mundane or hypocritical or chalk it up to just plan absurd reasoning or logic and i think its the job of the chaplains to help bring them back by words as well as actions.
