My summer as a chaplain

Cheryl, I just read your post about Godly Play in the hospital. Are there many hospital chaplains that use Godly Play? I am very interested in working with children in this way. I currently am a Montessori teacher. I am Godly Play trained, but use Children Worship & Wonder (based on Young Children and Worship) in my Christian Church(Disciples of Christ) community.

Hi Pat,
I’m new to blogging and just found this question on my blog. I apologize for not getting back to you. There are a growing number of hospitals using Godly Play as a pastoral or spiritual intervention in the hospital. The children’s hospital in Chicago has begun using it, Children’s hospital in Jacksonville, FL are two that come to mind. There are a growing number of chaplains who have been trained who use it on their own – in other words it is not necessarily a “program” of the hospital. There are a few at Children’s in Boston, for example. Let me know if I can help you in anyway as you pursue this work.
