While the field of spiritual care in the US is better and better understand by Americans as time goes by, most American chaplains and researchers are unfamiliar with the state of spiritual care in global chaplaincy.
The Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and the International Center for Chinese Buddhist Culture and Education invite you to a panel discussion on the history and current state of global chaplaincy as seen by experts from several places outside the United States. This webinar will help chaplains in all sectors better understand the international aspect of chaplaincy and, as a result, better serve those not from the United States. We are joined by:
Venerable Guan Zhen, Co-Founder and General Secretary, International Centre of Chinese Buddhist Culture and Education
Wendy Cadge, Director, Chaplaincy Innovation Lab
Ray-Sheng Her, Deputy CEO, Tzu Chi Foundation
Dedong Wei, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the International Center for Buddhist Studies, Renmin University of China
Jue Xiao, Deputy Director, Volunteer Committee, Chinese Association for Life
Scarlett Tong Zuo, Volunteer, Beijing Ciyuan Center, Interpreter
