St. Louis Resident Endorsed as Chaplain Leanna
June Pearse, of Pearse,
formerly of Endorsement by a faith
group of the chaplain’s or pastoral counselor’s choosing is necessary
for certification or, in many situations, employment. For example,
endorsement is required to work with such federal institutions as the
United States Armed Forces, Federal Bureau of Prisons or the Department of
Veterans Affairs. Endorsement is also required by state governments, many
health care organizations and other agencies where individuals serve as
chaplains and pastoral counselors. A chaplain or pastoral counselor can be
endorsed by only one endorsing body. "Significant ministry
of the Fellowship is expressed through endorsed chaplains and pastoral
counselors who serve in hospice facilities, hospitals, military
installations, business and industrial corporations, public safety
services, correctional institutions, learning disability schools,
retirement communities and pastoral counseling centers and offices,"
said George Pickle, the Fellowship’s associate coordinator for
chaplaincy and pastoral counseling. "These ministers in specialized
settings are the presence of Christ in the trauma and drama of the
world." The Fellowship maintains an
endorsement process that includes a detailed application, faith statement,
verification of education, references, biographical information, a letter
of support from a local church, understanding of CBF and interview. |
