| Summary: | This article reports on the inception and work of the first multi-faith chaplaincy team in a general hospital outside of London. The problematic beginnings are described as the team, previously run by and based on Anglican Christian ministry expanded to multi-faith care. The importance of the chapel/worship space in such a project diminished and chaplains and volunteer visitors of all faiths and none now minister in more secular spaces throughout the hospital and outside its walls. This is a reflection of their work becoming more interfaith as chaplains ministering to those of different faiths from their own evolved to a more spiritually rather than religiously oriented focus in generating patient-centred care in the context of a changing British culture, now considered simultaneously Christian, religiously plural, and secular. |
