The Theology of Chaplaincy in Modern Society - Wynne Dion Berry Sr

Many people view ministers by their titles and try to distinguish them within those roles. When all the titles are removed, at the core of any position of service is the spirit of one "called" to wait on others and serve in the spirit of humility; not because of a title, but by the call of God and the passion to serve others in need. Jesus was a great example of someone of the highest distinguishing factors, who served in humbleness of heart, and with the passion of a servant minister. Within theology of Scripture, the word "chaplain" is not in the Bible, such as the office of pastor, evangelist, prophet, teacher, apostle or disciple. However, the words serve, servant, and minister reside all throughout Scripture to remind us of who we are and what we are really called to do in service to others. Today, chaplaincy varies by denominations and beliefs, whether within a religious order or secular business, prison or hospital, university or sports teams, military or government body. Even so, it is still considered ministry or service to others, in a manner that represents morality and moral character. In this book, the author takes us down the rewarding yet challenging road of "chaplains" in modern society and their impact on families, communities, and the Kingdom of God. This book will be an asset to you whether you serve as a lay member, minister, teacher, evangelist, pastor or chaplain. A chaplain is no more than a servant of God outside of the traditional church setting, serving people in the time of need and crisis.
