Bezoek het webinar: International Perspectives on Humanist Chaplaincy
14 mei 2021
Summary
Chaplains from all over the world encounter patients and clients whose worldviews can be characterized as multireligious and (post)secular. Humanist chaplains, who have been established in the Netherlands for many decades, offer care to different groups of clients. How do they offer chaplaincy care grounded in their own worldviews? What are the possibilities and boundaries of humanist chaplaincy in a changing society? How does the context of humanist chaplaincy corelate with the philosophy behind humanist chaplaincy? In this webinar we want to discuss humanist chaplaincy from an international perspective, starting with a discussion between the US and the Netherlands.
This webinar is organised by Mount Sinai & Chaplaincy Innovation Lab (New York) in collaboration with University of Humanistic Studies.

Overal in de wereld hebben geestelijk verzorgers te maken met patiënten en cliënten die geen bepaalde religie aanhangen, (post)seculier zijn. In Nederland heeft men al decennialang ervaring met humanistisch geestelijk verzorgers die juist hiervoor speciaal opgeleid en aangesteld zijn. Wat kunnen we hiervan leren? Het Mount Sinai & Chaplaincy Innovation Lab (New York) organiseert in samenwerking met de Universiteit voor Humanistiek op maandag 17 mei een webinar over humanistisch geestelijke verzorging in internationaal perspectief.
