I really appreciate this post. Having worked as a chaplain for over 12 years, I felt a gentle pull as I read along. "Hospitals are liminal spaces." In my experience, the veil was thinned in moments unexpected. The turn of a conversation toward the holy, or being present with a doctor's grief, would remind me to stay alert, as the spirit was always moving.
it's the ultimate Cage Free ministry - being a chaplain. You're there in the midst of life and death - and people who need Jesus - every day.

Describes so well the nuance and enormity of chaplaincy. I am so glad you are finding your path in this ministry.
