摘要

专业牧师有独特的机会在机构环境中提供灵性关怀,而其他类型的牧灵关怀可能并不存在。在这些机构中服务会面临特殊的挑战,包括多重身份和责任之间的紧张关系。这种紧张关系可能会在基督徒牧师的内心造成冲突,并使他们对自己的最终归属产生困惑。文章的第一部分讨论了我认为专业牧师在机构中服务时可能会经历的五种与身份相关的紧张关系。文章的第二部分概述了建立在圣约神学和上帝和解恩典工作框架上的基督教呼召神学。这种呼召神学为基督教牧师的职业身份指明了方向,使他们明确自己在机构环境中的责任。基督教牧师首先要对上帝和上帝对他们生命的呼召负责。对这一呼召的正确定位使牧师们有能力调和与身份有关的紧张关系所造成的认知失调,从而在履行其推进国度的使命时与上帝展开更丰富的属灵对话。

To Whom Is the Institutional Chaplain Beholden? Reconciling the Christian Chaplain’s Tension of Identity With a Theology of Calling
Professional chaplains have the unique opportunity to provide spiritual care within institutional settings where other types of pastoral care may not exist. Serving within these institutions presents special challenges, including tension between multiple identities and responsibilities. This tension can create conflict within the Christian chaplain, and confusion as to whom they are ultimately beholden. The first section of the article discusses what I see as the five identity-related tensions a professional chaplain may experience serving in an institution. The second section of the article outlines a Christian theology of calling built on the framework of Covenant Theology and God’s reconciling work of grace. This theology of calling orients the professional identity of the Christian chaplains, rooting them in a clear sense of their responsibilities within their institutional setting. Christian chaplains are beholden first to God and to the calling God places on their life. Proper orientation to that calling equips chaplains to reconcile any cognitive dissonance caused by identity-related tensions, thus opening up a richer spiritual dialogue with God as they live out their kingdom-advancing mission.
