Lecturer  Dr. Erik Olsman and several invited lecturers Content  Many people have spiritual questions during different phases in life. Frequently, they ask spiritual questions (in this course used interchangeably with existential questions), when facing illness, serving the army or having a criminal record. This seminar welcomes both Christian students and students with other religions or no religion. The objective of this seminar is to stimulate reflection on spiritual care, in the first place among chaplains (in spe), and secondly, among other professionals who (will) provide professional care for others. During several meetings attention will be paid to the reflection on one’s own spirituality, which fits within the Protestant Theological University that recognizes the importance of one’s own spirituality in providing (multifaith) spiritual care to others and in teaching others on spiritual care. The lesson is based on classes, available evidence (for instance discussed during class), classes, one’s own authentic spirituality, and – if applicable – one’s own work experience.
