Itinvites us iinto closed communities, some more closed than others, and allows us to observe the day-to-day crisis ministries in whichthe chaplains areengaged. We visit battlefields, prisons, hospitals, hospice settings, college campuses, veterans'' centers, and retirement facilities. The writer draws some interesting conclusions about the uniqueness of the chaplaincy and what the greater church can learn from this growing model.
