"The hospital can be a busy, lonely place..."



Great article in the New York Times on the Rev'd Margaret A. Muncie, an Episcopal priest working as a hospital chaplain. Hospital chaplaincy is one of the most popular and most rigorous forms of religious ministry, and it is great to see such good work recognized. As fewer people attend weekly worship services, I am convinced that hospital chaplains will increasingly provide the lion's share of pastoral care for many people in need.
