About the Talk

Based on in-depth research, this talk explores how patients today from varied backgrounds—from evangelical to atheist, agnostic, and "nothing in particular"—confront spiritual, existential, and religious challenges, and how hospital chaplains often help. These spiritual care providers play critical roles assisting patients, families, and staff, but knowledge about them and how they assist patients remains relatively low. This talk presents the profound insights they have to share.
