Faith in Hospices (New Library of Pastoral Care)

by Derek B . Murray (Author)

Synopsis

Faith in Hospices explores the work of hospices and the role of the clergy of all denominations, and others involved in pastoral care, within them. Derek Murray raises some profound questions facing the hospice movement, and the chaplains who work within it, in today's secularised world: what is the special role of the chaplain? what about those of other faiths, and none? what happens when respect for the dying conflicts with other principles or wishes? what about the use of resources?
