Bard","doi":"10.1177/15423050221086158","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15423050221086158","url":null,"abstract":"From time to time many full articles offered in any one issue of JPC&C focus on a similar theme, at other times they do not do so. This issue contains articles that reflect a theme about one of JPC&C’s core missions to reflect the breadth of field that pastoral/spiritual care encompasses. The breadth of this mission is not characterized simply by themes or theories; it includes cultural and geographical diversity. Theo Pleizier and Carmen Schuhmann’s How the Military Context shapes Spiritual Care Interventions by Military Chaplains identifies professional realities that often do not receive the deserved attention in the field’s extant literature. Jolanda van Dijke, Joachim Duyndam, Inge van Nistelrooij, and Pien Bos, We need to talk about empathy, offer insights about humanist chaplains in the Netherlands that can be informative about the spiritual context of a growing number spiritual care providers in the 21 century. Jane Kuepfer, Angela Schmidt, Thomas St. James O’Connor, and Melanie Jame, spiritual Care in Ontario Long term Care, consider structural concerns within western Canada that are faced by local practitioners and have potential implications for the field at large. Csaba Szilagyl, Alexander Tartaglia, Patricia Palmer, David Fleenor, Elizabeth Jackson-Jordan, Sara Sweeney, and James Slaven, COVID-19 and Clinical Pastoral Education, opine on the structural shifts in training generated by the current pandemic and what these shifts suggest going forward. Leanne Frost and Dianne Gardner, Maintaing balance for Christian Counselors..., consider the stresses experienced by some pastoral/spiritual counselors and models for coping with them. And Csaba Szilagyl, Anne Maria Vandenhoec, Megan Best, Cate Desjardins, David Drummond, George Fichett, Simon Harrison, Trace Haythorn, Cheryl Holmes, Hanneke Muthert, Daniel Nuzum, Joost Verhoef, and Erika Willander, offer an international panel’s consideration of Chaplain Leadership During COVID-19, and provide a broad assessment the roles that chaplains assumed in the context of the pandemic. Such breadth of themes, perspective, and experiences are also represented in the Personal Reflections an Media offering in this issue. Finally, in addition to the content depth and breadth these articles represent, they also exhibit an increasing professional reality by the complement of their authorship. Professional collaboration in research, vision, and practice represents the increasing reality that pastoral and spiritual care professionals are currently working and conducting research collaboratively as well as with colleagues and peers from other clinical disciplines. This shift represents the profession’s health and the increasing status it has acquired with other providers. It fulfills one of The Journal of Pastoral Care Publications’ core goals.

Data were collected from 20 humanist chaplains working in health care, prison, and military settings using semi-structured interviews. According to the participants, empathy is at the heart of their profession but has disadvantages as well. The analysis yields seven major functions of empathy with corresponding downsides and limitations: (1) to connect, (2) to understand, (3) to guide, (4) to acknowledge, (5) to motivate, (6) to inspire, and (7) to humanize. We argue for a need to \"talk about empathy\" since despite its importance and challenges, there is little professional and academic discussion about empathy in chaplaincy care. We hope that the findings of this study can function as starting points for the discussion and thus contribute to the ongoing professionalization of chaplaincy care. To that end, we propose three topics for further reflection and conversation.</p>","PeriodicalId":44361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling","volume":"76 1","pages":"15-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39852649","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}

Arel","doi":"10.1177/15423050211061138","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/15423050211061138","url":null,"abstract":"Dr. Philip Halstead is a lecturer and Pastoral Counselor at Carey Baptist College. His research focuses on designing and running a series of forgiveness courses that help adults to explore their relationships with their parents. Dr. Myk Habets is Head of Theology and a senior lecturer in Theology at Laidlaw College. His research centers around constructive contemporary theology and moral theology (ethics). He is also Associate Pastor at Albany Baptist Church in New Zealand. The Art of Forgiveness provides a pathway for reflecting on the many dimensions of this Christian tenet. Composed of 16 essays, the book is divided into two sections. The first section entitled Theological and Biblical Foundations probes the ways in which the Christian tradition constructs and conceptualizes forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. This first half of the text offers resources for what forgiveness is. The second section, Practical and Applied Perspectives, explores conceptions of forgiveness in their application and how behavior around practices of reconciliation (or lack of these) reflects belief. Transcending simplistic configurations of forgiveness, this second half of the text offers resources for what forgiveness does and how to do it, acknowledging that navigating forgiveness when wounded is not easy. Balancing theory and practice, the essays investigate several underlying principles: forgiveness is simultaneously an art, a fundamental human need, and a key Christian tenet. From various angles, the authors frame the conversation related to forgiving and being forgiven in ways that that are imaginative and grounded in pastoral theological practice. The authors lead the reader through moral complexities, honoring the richness of diversity, while challenging common presumptions about forgiving. This book, appropriate for the undergraduate and graduate reader, both clarifies and complicates the concept of forgiveness. One comes away with a multidimensional interpretation of forgiveness that provokes dialogue and self-examination while guiding praxis. The balanced approach in the first eight essays illustrates, as the editors articulate, that “the canvas and the paints are readied, as it were, and the subject is settled into place” (xi). The first essay (chapter 1, Habets) provides direction for the remainder of the section through a consideration of theological ethics framed as a Christocentric commitment with a Trinitarian context where forgiveness entails both gift and demand, and rather than being an isolated theoretical concept, is something embodied. After this review of the ontological foundations upon which interpersonal forgiveness is founded, various biblical and theological issues are addressed. The second essay (chapter 2, Barker) shapes forgiveness as a biblically and theologically supported interpersonal and conditional action where the context of a relationship is critical. Asserting the place of penitence, the author defines forgiveness rel","PeriodicalId":44361,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pastoral Care & Counseling","volume":"75 1","pages":"301 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"65502060","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}
