Recent developments in Dutch society and its healthcare system pose new challenges to humanist chaplaincy. Thus far, chaplaincy has been predominantly rooted in institutionalized religion, but it now has to serve a diversity of people who are increasingly secularized with personal ways of worldviewing. Moreover, chaplaincy is increasingly becoming a profession like many others, reducing the focus on its worldviewing competencies. The main question this article addresses is what this implies for the education of chaplains, more specifically for humanist chaplains who are educated on a Master’s level course at the University of Humanistic Studies. Using the concepts of interprofessional learning communities (Stoll & Seashore Louis, 2007) and dialogical professionalism (Jacobs, 2010), two visions are put forward for developing the education of humanist chaplains that might also be relevant for other chaplaincy educational programs.

In recent decades, healthcare chaplaincy in the United Kingdom has had to adapt to the growth of cultural pluralism and the waning of Christian monopolies in the public sphere. It has done this in different ways in Scotland and in England, following their differing patterns of secularization. Typically, chaplaincy in England has responded by embracing diversity, with the emergence of “multi-faith” teams. Scotland, by contrast, has sought to create a neutral space for chaplaincy, with the construction of “generic” teams. This article argues that both these responses to pluralism are problematic, for different reasons. “Multi-faith” chaplaincy risks becoming inequitable, while “generic” chaplaincy puts the integrity of the chaplain under threat. This study offers a “third way” – a way of reconceptualizing the relationship between a chaplain’s particular formational identity and the demands of a professional spiritual care service that must give equal access to all. This insight is derived by analogy from the world of counselling and psychotherapy, which has come to terms with professionalization in recent years. Writing from the Scottish context, and in contrast to the generic model, I argue for a recovery of emphasis on the chaplain’s formational identity as a necessary resource in being able to offer authentic spiritual care. Part of the process of professionalization could be the retention of an older sense of “professional,” which acknowledges the importance of being rooted in the beliefs and commitments a person “professes.”

Employing the praxis method of theological reflection, this article draws on a spiritual care encounter with a person holding a worldview derived from an empirical approach to the natural world, in order to reflect on the nature of non-religious spirituality and its implications for the spiritual care sector. Non-religious spirituality is examined as a genuine form of spirituality. The hypothesis that the genuine nature of non-religious spirituality necessarily suggests that non-religious people can both receive and provide spiritual care is presented. Healthy secularity is examined as the underlying sociocultural condition for non-religious spiritual care to be recognized in a sector currently dominated by religious assumptions. The study concludes with a call to spiritual care educators and accrediting bodies in the Australian context to begin working toward a secular perspective that is inclusive of non-religious spirituality and spiritual care. The conclusions of the article will have significance for the global spiritual care community, particularly in countries recording increases in populations identifying as non-religious.

The Spiritual Health Association has developed two frameworks for use by spiritual care management across health services in Victoria (Australia), namely, the “Spiritual Care Minimum Data Set Framework” (SHV, 2015) and second, the “Spiritual Care in Victorian Health Services: Towards Best Practice Framework” (SHV, 2016a), hereafter referred to as “the frameworks.” For the first time, the frameworks have provided a consistent way of collecting data in Victoria, and of benchmarking spiritual care services in several areas including governance, credentialing, and quality improvement processes. The evaluation was conducted by surveying 36 spiritual care managers/co-ordinators in Victorian hospitals. The results were used to report to chief executive officers in Victorian health services. The results of the evaluation showed that the frameworks were effective tools for auditing, benchmarking, and improving quality in spiritual care departments within health services in the State of Victoria, Australia. These frameworks were found to support spiritual care departments in undertaking continuous improvement initiatives in their local health services. The results have informed the development of future frameworks and guidelines for the spiritual care sector.

This is a brief reflection on how chaplaincy in the United Kingdom is respond- ing "on the ground" to COVID-19. It is based on a short questionnaire responded to by 27 chaplaincy teams, who were providing ministry during COVID-19, in April 2020. It notes significant changes in practice and captures some variation and similarities in chaplaincy experiences. It also highlights emerging concerns with respect to chaplaincy practice that may require additional research in the future.A brief reflection on how Chaplaincy is responding ‘on the ground’ to Covid19, based on short questionnaire responses from 27 Teams in April 2020.
