"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."
