Hospital Chaplaincy in the 21st Century-The Crisis of Spiritual Care on the NHS

Issues of faith and spirituality have been resurgent in the UK since the opening of the 21st century. This book charts the impact of shifting attitudes towards spirituality through the experiences of health care chaplains. Rooted in a new and radical interpretation of the chaplain's work in the past, the book moves on to describe a current crisis in the nature of spiritual care. Using the tools of practical theology to analyze these experiences, fundamental problems are identified for chaplains as they work within the culture of 'evidence based practice'.Swift, Christopher is the author of 'Hospital Chaplaincy in the 21st Century-The Crisis of Spiritual Care on the NHS', published 2009 under ISBN 9780754664161 and ISBN 0754664163.
