This essay explores the spiritual lives of individuals with severe autism through the lenses of embodiment theology, disability theology, and personal storytelling. Drawing on the author's experience as both a father of a child with severe autism and spiritual care provider, it reframes spirituality as an embodied and sensory reality rather than primarily cognitive. The essay challenges providers to expand their spiritual imagination, recognizing sensory experiences as sacred and inviting new approaches to spiritual care.

Various "arbitrary factors" shaped healthcare chaplains' experiences during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The author's reflection provides personal recollection, uniquely situated in the particular local organizational dynamics and inter-personal relationships among the professionals, supplementing the qualitative survey articles by the field's on-going effort to collect, organize, and interpret the pandemic's impact on the spiritual care practitioners.

This paper is a reflection on the role of doctors in everyone's life. It is anchored and inspired from three Filipino doctors who serve as frontliners and died during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through sacrifice and service, they provide unconditional care up to the point of risking and losing their lives. They deserve trust and cooperation from their patients to execute an effective treatment and care management.

On-demand support is necessary to mitigate distress and attrition in healthcare staff. Healthcare chaplains' scope includes such support. This pilot studied the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of a Code Lavender protocol utilizing chaplain support and stress-relief items. A post-hoc analysis examined the protocol's cost-effectiveness. The results indicated the protocol's acceptability, effectiveness, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. Healthcare worker distress can be mitigated with this simple, on-demand support utilizing the specialized skills and training of healthcare chaplains.

This article proposes Inductive People Helping as a supplement to faith-based support that combines the strengths of Inductive Bible Study and the Process Model of Helping. This integration aims to assist chaplains and pastors supporting Christians in applying their existing knowledge of hermeneutics to understanding "living texts." The proposed use of inductive questions is informed by theoretical investigations and supported by practical experience. It can support the field of pastoral care and counseling.

Religiously Informed, Relationally Skillful Chaplaincy Theory (RIRSCT) (Ragsdale & Desjardins, 2020) is a chaplaincy theory positing that healthcare chaplains would be more helpful to patients and to members of the healthcare team if they were better versed in how patients' religious beliefs and practices impacted their healthcare experience. Changing the theory's name to Tradition-Aware Chaplaincy Theory expands the original theory to include spiritualities and secular belief systems not included in the term "Religiously Informed."
