Interacting with Patients of a Different Faith: The Personal Reflection of a Buddhist Chaplain
Abstract
How can a spiritual care provider interact on a meaningful level with patients whose faith beliefs are so radically different from his or her own? How can we provide spiritual comfort to families who are using religious resources that are so far outside the chaplain"s theological area of expertise? These are questions that touch not only on the foundations of my own personal faith, but also on the very principle of providing spiritual care to another.This content is limited to qualifying members.
