Chaplaincy Units

Chaplaincy

Studying theology is not the same as studying modern languages, arts, engineering or science, e.g. in that we study theology not to becomes masters, but to be mastered. With many other subjects, what we learn might have little impact on our core values and beliefs. Theological study affects not only our mind, but our whole person. The aim of the unit is to address the philosophy of theological study and to equip students with the academic tools required to maximise the benefit of their studies to them.

Street Chaplaincy

Chaplains have a unique role in the mission of the gospel both in Australia and in other countries. They are engaged in a range of different and varied areas such as schools, hospitals, aged care facilities, sporting clubs, the Police Service, street service (entertainment and night life) and other sectors.

This unit introduces students to the theological, spiritual and practical streams that make for effective chaplains.

It is designed for all chaplains and uses assignments in the area of street chaplains for the development of experience of ministry.

Chaplains require a broad range of skills which allow them to interact appropriately and offer the love of Christ to people in a variety of situations.

Clinical Chaplaincy
Clinical Chaplaincy provides experienced-based theological education which combines the practice of pastoral care with qualified supervision, peer group reflection and a curriculum for the development of pastoral competencies. Clinical Chaplaincy equips students for a chaplaincy vocation in a variety of clinical contexts. The course is run by an approved Clinical Chaplaincy program provider.
