C haplains assist employees with practical concerns. I assist many with immigration matters. While the initial contact is at the workplace, I see them later in a local social service center. I have visited people in hospital and prison, attended funerals of employees or their family members, counseled depressed persons, gone with persons to court, provided limited marriage counseling, and performed numerous weddings. S ome companies hesitate to consider having chaplains in their workplace settings because they are concerned that it might be misunderstood by non-Christian employees as an attempt to impose a religious faith in a pluralistic America.
Chaplains respect the religious faith of the employees.
This means that sometimes they might introduce a Buddhist priest to assist a family in crisis. I have had frequent respectful conversations with a Muslim employee about the importance of his faith. It can be full-time or only a few hours a week. Luke Martin and Shanae worshiping together. Because that is where He died.
