This manuscript highlights potential barriers hospitalized Hindu patients and caregivers living in the United States encounter while accessing chaplaincy care. Community-based participatory research is suggested to foster partnerships between chaplains and the Hindu community in developing evidence-based, inclusive models of pastoral care.

Today’s world is increasingly complex and, in many ways, has proven quite stressful for a large number of people. International and political climates are much more present in people’s lives via the news and social media, often creating or exacerbating distress. Pastoral and Spiritual care professionals often focus on identifying the whole picture as they care for others. Context, history, and present become important components in the care of those seeking help. In a recent Boston Globe article, Is the world really falling apart, or does it just feel that way? (13 July 2022), author Mark Fisher of The New York Times steps back from such experiences to consider increasing global trends. He concludes that current media’s focus on troubling events belies the fact that research reveals worldwide generational changes in war reduction, instances of famine, population education, and other shifts. The research finds that, globally, people now report greater optimism, hope, and economic stability than ever before. Fisher’s observations are not pollyannish; they simply provide a broader perspective that is frequently unnoticed or overlooked. Individuals seeking pastoral and spiritual care and support sometimes do not notice or overlook the broader, sometimes more positive, contexts of their lives. They are often focused narrowly on the specific concerns and struggles they face. For them, their world frequently feels as if it is “falling apart”, or, at least, in disarray, and it becomes difficult to find any relief from the consequent stress or pain. Pastoral and spiritual care providers frequently offer a wider conceptualization to the stressors in people’s lives, often helping them to glimpse at positive aspects of their lives and personal contexts, thereby helping them to reduce some of the stress they experience. Several articles in this issue describe aspects of the benefit of these broader contexts and offer ways to address and reduce stressors both for the pastoral/spiritual care providers as well as those for whom they care. Even amid feelings of disarray during these stressful times, for care providers as well as those that seek help and support, it is possible to find release. From that perspective, hope becomes possible. Recognizing positive personal and contextual dimensions even in the throws of suffering, pain, and feelings of anomie, can help allay some of the burdens imposed by unidentified stressors. Pastoral and spiritual care providers are trained to consider the broader holistic contexts of those in their care. Stepping back in order to look ahead can provide a pathway to relief and the potential for regenerating comfort and hope. Editorial

In this article, the author describes two ways that can be done during this coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, namely through GUIDANCE and COUNSELING. The author freely translates that GUIDANCE as "God, You, and I Dance" and COUNSELING as "Communicate yourself in God". In the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, this article offers new insights into the search for meaning and a long-term purpose in life.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore perceptions and lived experiences of African-American pastors addressing the onslaught of COVID-19 with their congregation. Thirty-seven pastors representing various denominations from across Mississippi participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews. From the data, five themes emerged including (1) Pastors' relentlessness, (2) Pastors' adoption of new technology, (3) Maximized social capital, (4) Unintended consequences resulting from COVID-19, and (5) Unintended benefits resulting from COVID-19.

Toxic positivity is indicated by encouraging words spoken in difficult situations that force someone to feel good about themselves. It becomes a current issue around the Generation Z because of the realization that toxic positivity could have a negative impact on mental health and individual social relationships. This study aims to analyze the views of Generation Z on the phenomena of toxic positivity. The approach of this study was quantitative using descriptive methods.

Charles Dickens got it right: It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. The ravages of COVID-19, Putin’s satanic unprovoked massacre of Ukrainians, the United States Supreme Courts reconsideration of human rights all represent dramatic global and local chaotic shifts challenging millions of people. What was once regarded as stable is now in disarray. Working through people’s disarray has always been the framework for pastoral and spiritual care providers. However, today’s health, climate, and political uncertainty have increased many concerns and personal challenges of those seeking care. Helping others to achieve inner peace and generate hope have become a bit more difficult amid this climate of fear, increased cynicism, and seemingly insurmountable hurdles. Spiritual care providers continue helping others to find stability, “centering” themselves as well as while learning to live with hope amid settings of uncertainty. These ongoing issues offer a variety of perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that pastoral and spiritual care providers face in the context of these major shifts. Whether working with faithbased organizations, living with the current pandemic problems, assisting those with aging, physical or mental illness, or managing to cope with ever present unsettledness, places greater demands on those providing care. The need for professional expertise is increasing almost exponentially. In this context, hope seems an asymptotic goal. Yet, some silver linings may evolve on the horizon. The book of Genesis suggests that some order is possible after ubiquitous chaos. Chaos, though ever present, becomes minimized. COVID 19 may evolve as a manageable endemic viral nuisance medically kept at bay like the common flu. But the pandemic has unleashed scientific discoveries that may thwart or nullify many current and future diseases. Putin’s narcissistic war has coalesced more nations to work together in unprecedented fashion to eradicate future war and potentially create a better climate and a more unified global society. Reductions in human rights might stimulate many locally and globally to demand greater equality. Should these shifts evolve into realities, there may be some hope that it will redound to greater external and internal peace. A number of these shifts are reflected in each of the formal sections in this issue of JPC&C. For those of us devoted to supporting and enhancing the human spirit, we embrace these goals and work tirelessly to embody them and help others to do so as well. Spirit, chaos, ... then hope remains a shared vision. Editorial
