The Work of Leadership
Leadership within the Office of Chaplains exists to foster sound chaplaincy practice, encourage vocational discernment, and help maintain the Church’s pastoral presence in specialized environments.
This includes support for clergy and candidates, guidance regarding ecclesiastical endorsement, and the steady oversight needed for a ministry that often serves in settings marked by crisis, vulnerability, and great human need.
The office’s leadership serves not for status, but for the strengthening of chaplaincy as a faithful work of pastoral care in the wider mission of the Church.
