Chaplain (français)

Traditionally, a chaplain is a minister in a specialized setting, such as a priest, pastor, rabbi imam, humanist chaplain or a lay representative of a worldview attached to a secular institution such as a hospital, prison, military unit, police department, university, or private chapel. 

Though initially, the word "chaplain" referred to representatives of the Christian faith, it is now applied to men and women of other religions or philosophical traditions, such as in the case of the humanist chaplains serving with military forces in the Netherlands and Belgium. In recent years, many lay individuals have received professional training in chaplaincy. They are now appointed as chaplains in schools, hospitals, universities, prisons and elsewhere to work alongside or instead of official clergy members.

The Christian seminar program is not intended to be a substitute for an education, but it provides in-depth knowledge of Christian theology and history and ministerial ethics training in pastoral care, implementing care, disciples and the church.
