Abstract

This chapter is concerned with questions of inclusion and exclusion in chaplaincy practice and education, in light of the changing religious landscape of contemporary British, North American, and many Western European societies. What are the implications for chaplaincy in societies where there is a decline in identification with the Christian churches, alongside a simultaneous growth of Muslim populations and those who state they have ‘no religion’? The chapter explores the way in which the historic, economic, social, religious, and educational structures of institutional chaplaincy can intersect in ways that can both directly and indirectly exclude particular groups from the benefits of pastoral care. In the last part of the chapter, consideration is given to the ways in which chaplaincy education might be ‘decolonised’ and made more hospitable to newcomers in the chaplaincy profession, as well as more accessible through greater use of hybrid modes of delivery.
