{"title":"Midwifing Social Movements: How Movement Chaplains Practice Pastoral Theology Through Accessible, Critical, and Collective Spiritual Care","authors":"Janelle L. Moore","doi":"10.1080/10649867.2023.2255465","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10649867.2023.2255465","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTIn recent years, individuals of myriad religious and spiritual persuasions have volunteered to serve as chaplains to social justice movements. Drawing on a thematic qualitative text analysis of online materials, I argue that movement chaplains enact the work of pastoral theology when they render spiritual care more accessible, critical, and collective. I delineate two resources that an analysis of movement chaplaincy contributes to pastoral theology. First, movement chaplains model the integration of the ethics of care and spiritual care practices. Second, they offer a generative metaphor for the work of pastoral theology: that of accompanying midwife. As the field grapples with the implications of a changing religious landscape, movement chaplaincy challenges us to develop a pastoral theology that cares for souls across a plurality of religious (dis)affiliations and that accompanies those souls as they endeavor to birth spiritual lives that nourish and sustain.KEYWORDS: Movement chaplaincyspiritual careethics of carepastoral theologysocial movementspractice AcknowledgmentsThis article is written with deep gratitude for the Atlanta Protest Chaplains. Their mobilization of faith leaders and spiritually informed activists in the summer of 2020 inspired this work, and I am particularly grateful to all who reflected with me about their involvement in movement, protest, and poll chaplaincy. I also want to express my gratitude and admiration for Faith Matters Network; put simply, their work is changing the world. Many thanks also to Ellen Ott Marshall for reading earlier versions of this article and to Liz Bounds for being in conversation with me about this research since 2020. Finally, I write with gratitude for my grandmother, Annette Brister, who modeled accompanying care and cultivated a justice-seeking, life-giving spirituality throughout her ninety years.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 Lewis, “Micky ScottBey Jones.”2 Jackson et al., “Movement Chaplaincy: Meeting Spiritual Needs in Our Struggles for Justice.”3 See, for example, Ernst and Krinks, “A Guide for Movement Chaplains.”4 Tronto, Caring Democracy, 17, 123; Chatzidakis et al., The Care Manifesto, 9–10.5 Indeed, Chatzidakis et al. argue that social life has been dramatically shaped by an ‘accelerating social system of organised loneliness.’ Chatzidakis et al., The Care Manifesto, 45.

We begin with a short introduction to dementia and move on to unraveling the concept of hope and its connection with temporality. Then, by analyzing Lutheran Christian chaplains’ interviews, we present how the temporal dimensions of past, present, and future may be seen and utilized in pastoral care and counseling of people who have lost their own sense of temporality. While doing this, we introduce the concept of past-oral care to capture the basic nature of the chaplains’ work in nursing homes. In the end, we discuss the nature of Christian faith in the light of this new knowledge.","PeriodicalId":29885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Theology","volume":"33 1","pages":"84 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44484898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Readers will note some changes in the editorial team. We begin by thanking Danjuma Gibson for his four years of extraordinary service as Co-Editor and welcoming Eunil David Cho aboard for his term. We also thank those editorial board members who rotated off this term and welcome those who have been elected to serve. We would especially like to express our warm appreciation to Sonya Waters for her generous service on the Board of Editors. This regular issue of the Journal of Pastoral Theology brings together three diverse religious and theological perspectives on chaplaincy with an article in the vein of public theology. As the JPT moves to expand its base of authors and readers to include more international and religious perspectives, we celebrate this wide-ranging participation. Jari Pirhonen, Suvi-Maria Saarelainen, Isto Peltomäki and Auli Vähäkangas contribute the lead article, ‘Past-oral Care – Christian Hope in Pastoral Care and Counseling for People With Severe Dementia in Finland.’ This article is based on a qualitative study of the pastoral care methods used by ten Evangelical Lutheran chaplains who work with persons with dementia in Finland. The carefully described study plumbs the lived experience of chaplaincy with a highly stigmatized population. What do these chaplains actually do when they visit with persons with dementia, and what are they trying to accomplish? Pirhonen et al. identify themes of presence, relationality, temporality, embodiment, and hope. They note the importance of nonverbal communication, especially when people with severe dementia are unable to narrate their experience. Additional practices include reminiscing to build temporal bridges between past, present, and future, active listening, even when what is said does not make sense, and the importance of tactile, embodied rituals that engage the senses. Poignantly, one chaplain describes how she engages the senses through offering the sacrament of communion: ‘If someone cannot drink, you moisten her lips with the wine to offer some taste.’ The authors analyze their findings through Christian theological lenses, engaging the work of John Swinton, Elaine Graham, and the Society of Pastoral Theology’s own Andrew Lester. Throughout, the authors emphasize their conviction that dementia does not define the person. This article is particularly useful for teaching students of chaplaincy, especially in the way that it models the study of lived chaplaincy practices and engages in theological reflection. Turning our gaze toward Islamic chaplaincy, the noted Islamic scholar and chaplain Celene Ibrahim contributes ‘Spiritual Care by and for Muslim Women in the United States.’ Taking a wide-angle view of spiritual care for Muslim women and girls in the US, Ibrahim notes that there is a distinct need for Muslim women and girls to confide in women rather than men, especially because of the traditional boundaries for decoru","PeriodicalId":29885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Theology","volume":"33 1","pages":"81 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49244278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sanders","doi":"10.1080/10649867.2023.2237697","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10649867.2023.2237697","url":null,"abstract":"This very statement is enough to silence conversation in some circles. To deal with this dilemma, Cooper-White offers concrete and usable tips for assessing a situation: when to stop the conversation, when to proceed with caution, when to go deeper. She reviews practices that facilitate empathetic listening, the fruit of her many years of teaching the skills of pastoral psychotherapy, and offers helpful suggestions for conversations with those whose views may be diametrically opposed to our own. Reviewing the psychological dynamics of ‘splitting’ and noting the temptation to turn conflictual issues into a cosmic battle between good and evil are helpful reminders as we attempt to talk across the divide. The Psychology of Christian Nationalism is useful not only to clinicians, but to pastoral theologians in the classroom and spiritual care specialists as well. It stands in the tradition of other books published in recent decades in the field of pastoral theology that embrace a vision of care and community that extends beyond individual concerns. It recognizes the role that structures play in harming individuals, couples, and families. Cooper-White provides not only an analysis of unjust structures, but as noted, identifies dialogue as a concrete solution to systemic problems. Whether addressing gender or sexuality, racism or white privilege, she brings to the discussion a deep understanding of gospel values infused with practical suggestions. Her understanding of congregational life, shaped by her lifelong membership in The Episcopal Church as well as her ordination in that denomination, gives her a particular window into the ethical and social dimensions of pastoral care. It sometimes happens that a book meets the moment with a kind of clarity, depth of research, and ring of truth that sets it apart. Rev. Dr. Pamela Cooper-White’s The Psychology of Christian Nationalism: Why People Are Drawn In and How to Talk Across the Divide is one of those books. It is an important text for the classroom and for all who are concerned with how we can speak with one another when it sometimes feels that we live in different worlds and speak different languages.","PeriodicalId":29885,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Theology","volume":"33 1","pages":"147 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42885093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
