"""This book is a kaleidoscope of contemporary, creative and global perspectives on chaplaincy as a site of doing public theology. Diverse voices, divergent themes, decolonial offerings, dialogical engagements and deep-critical reflections makes this book a delightful read, de-enveloping multi-faceted layers of chaplaincy. A timely and a relevant guide for those interested in translating faith into creative action in the public sphere."" -- Raj Bharat Patta “As the field of chaplaincy itself continues to both broaden and strengthen, this book embraces a diversity of themes, facilitating a platform for and welcoming new writers and those whose authentic voices may otherwise remain unheard. It is a welcome contribution to enable the value of chaplaincy to be identified with by a wider audience.” -- Anne Edwards"
