Beyond Virtue: The Growth of Spiritual Skills During Initial Pastoral Education

Authors

  • Gordon J. Hilsman

Abstract

Virtue is as important in chaplaincy practice as it is in the areas of medical ethics, politics, education, and health care. A virtue perspective, mostly ignored for decades in a society determined to create a value-free educational system, is recently re-emerging as central to developing leaders who are persistently focused on what is best for the general public. How growth in virtue can be  recognized, however, remains a complex issue.
