[Faith-talk] Blind chaplins

[Pat Gormley]

Barb's email address is bpierce at nfb.org.  I believe a lot of seminaries do 
have trainees for the pastorate to function as hospital chaplains as part of 
their training towards their ministerial degrees.  I know that Bob Parrish 
was a hospital chaplain for a number of years until a pastoral opportunity 
opened up but I've lost touch with him.
