October 2025 Webinar - Alphabet Soup? Understanding the Field of Chaplaincy

The field of chaplaincy is ever-expanding, with spiritual care showing up in new and unexpected places, while also deepening in established settings. Amidst these exciting shifts, organizations that support, educate, and certify chaplains are also undergoing significant changes. From SCA (Spiritual Care Association) and APC (Association of Professional Chaplains) to ACPE (Association for Clinical Pastoral Education), CIL (Chaplaincy Innovation Lab), NACC (National Association of Catholic Chaplains), NAJC (Neshama: Association of Jewish Chaplains), and many more—it can start to feel like a confusing bowl of alphabet soup! Join Animal Chaplain Rev. Sarah Bowen, BA Human Ecology, MA Religious Studies, and DMin (ABD) Animal Chaplaincy, for a lively and useful conversation about what’s going on—and what may be most helpful for you to know as someone engaged in veterinary chaplaincy.
