School Chaplaincy [Paperback]

School Chaplaincy is the first full-length text which explores and analyses the nature of chaplaincy in schools and its significance for Christian ministry and mission. This book highlights the nature and significance of the distinctive ministry of school chaplains and seeks to raise the profile of this key ministry in the Church, especially among policy-makers; to draw on research evidence to clarify practitioner and client understandings of this ministry; and to offer a clear and compelling theological case for developing a chaplaincy approach to the Churchs ministry among the young. The book includes practitioner-based perspectives and narratives; considers the significance of ethos in Church-based education and suggests some guidelines for good practice.
