Who Safeguards the Chaplain?
By Sharon Mackenzie
Rethinking the Structures Around Institutional Chaplaincy
Chaplains enter places shaped by systems, hierarchy, policy, illness, incarceration, education, authority, grief and crisis — and encounter the person beneath the role, diagnosis, offence, rank or institutional category. But humanising presence carries a cost when the structures surrounding chaplaincy fail to protect it.
Who Safeguards the Chaplain? rethinks the structures around institutional chaplaincy. Blending lived experience with reflective safeguarding and structural analysis, Sharon Mackenzie asks how institutions and providers can preserve the humanising presence of chaplaincy without sacrificing the human being who carries it.
