Holding CFB Wainwright in Prayer, Making Space for Grief and Lament
We remember the military chaplains, and others, who continue to accompany people through the difficult days ahead. The task of ministry, spiritual care, and chaplaincy involves being the keeper of stories and supporting making meaning with the storytellers. Prayer can help us make sense of tragedy when it happens.
Something’s Stirring: A Call for Canadian Voices in Chaplaincy
In recent years, chaplaincy and spiritual care have undergone significant changes. With fewer people identifying with traditional religion and institutions placing more limits on overtly religious expression, chaplains are being asked to adapt. At the same time, there’s growing recognition of the value chaplains bring—whether faith-based or not. This tension raises vital questions for Christian leaders: How do we offer spiritual care in pluralistic or even secular settings? What distinguishes our ministry when others are also doing this work with compassion, but without faith? These shifts invite us to reflect deeply on our calling and how we serve in today’s complex, spiritually diverse world.
