What did Chaplains do During the Covid Pandemic? An international survey

Snowden, Austyn

Abstract

A survey was designed to learn from chaplain experiences of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe. In June 2020, 1657 chaplains responded from 36 countries. They all experienced disruption to their usual practice, and whilst some were viewed as essential employees, most were not. Chaplains themselves were neither clear or unclear about their role before, during and post pandemic. Chaplains lack leadership, and confusion about their role will persist until this changes.
