Names of God: Practical Theology for Muslim Chaplains in CPE
Abstract
Clinical pastoral education is a standard requirement in the training of professional chaplains. This requirement has introcuded Muslim chaplains to CPE programs, and they often enter these programs as the first Muslim student. The situation is challenging for students and supervisors alike: the students may find it difficult to find their way through this unfamiliar educational process, and their supervisors may find it difficult to understand Islamic teaching in order to train and assess these new students. Along with other challenges, Muslim chaplaincy students (like students from Christian and Jewish faith traditions) often struggle with how to give spiritual care to people from other religious traditons, while remaining authentic in their own beliefs and practices. Islamic history and spiritual tradition offer rich resources to guide them.Downloads
