Here’s a space to sit and chat and hopefully provide a container for conference participants to integrate their experiences. Sometimes new information, especially when it challenges us spiritually, can be difficult to process. Unlike a pastor, or other religious figure, a chaplain does not expect the people they serve to follow a particular religious doctrine. An inter-religious chaplain has training in terms, theologies, and concepts across many different religions and can provide a sounding board to help someone find their own understanding and relationship with the Divine even (and especially) in challenging situations. So please stop and say hi, or sit for a minute and tell me how the conference is impacting you.
Lisa Spiral Besnett, M.Div., Chaplain
