Abstract

This article explores the often-disparate commitments the chaplain has made to both the institutional church as well as the hospital system through the lens of the baptismal rite. As baptism is primarily a religious act meant to initiate new members into the Christian faith and a specific community, the chaplain must grapple with the meaning of baptism in the hospital system, a place of crisis and transient community. It is the numinous presence that binds the chaplain’s disparate commitments together in the liminal space between the clinical and ecclesial within which the chaplain exists. The numinous expands the boundaries of institutions often at odds. The chaplain finds meaning and purpose by bearing witness and remaining committed to this numinous presence that binds.

结合在一起的神圣存在:牧师如何通过医院洗礼的镜头导航不同的承诺
这篇文章通过洗礼仪式的镜头探讨了牧师对机构教会和医院系统所做的经常不同的承诺。由于洗礼主要是一种宗教行为,旨在引导新成员加入基督教信仰和特定社区,牧师必须努力解决医院系统中洗礼的意义,这是一个危机和短暂的社区。这是一种神圣的存在,将牧师的不同的承诺结合在一起,在牧师存在的临床和教会之间的有限空间里。神界扩大了经常存在分歧的机构的边界。牧师通过见证和保持对这种神圣存在的承诺来找到意义和目的。
