[Faith-Talk] chaplaincy

Tue Jul 11 01:22:00 UTC 2023

I continued to work part time as an in call hospital chaplain for a few years after I became legally blind. There were a lot of physical changes going on at the hospital and transportation became a real challenge, so I stopped. Before I had my own vision issues, I was in supervisory CPE and one of the students/interns in one of my groups was blind and did go on to be a chaplain. 

I do still do some non-hospital chaplaincy work as a volunteer.
