| Abstract: | Hospital chaplaincy is both a challenging and an exciting experience of ministry. In this paper I shall be presenting and explaining seven pastoral principles which my pastoral experience helped me understand formulate, and integrate to consolidate my pastoral identity as a hospital chaplain. I shall support my explanation of these principles with pastoral encounters I had both locally and abroad. In referring to specific pastoral encounters, I have changed the patients and their family names so as to maintain their confidentiality. |
