While many may most associate chaplains with hospitals or the military, there are various types of chaplains who can be found in a number of different environments. The short list of those environments includes senior communities, college campuses, sports teams, correctional facilities - and even companies are allowing or inviting chaplains to come in and offer spiritual support. This support may prove most valuable to employees who are encountering difficulties (whether at home or work) or who are facing an unexpected event. These chaplains are usually provided through an outside ministry such as Marketplace Chaplains or Corporate Chaplains of America.
But to be sure, in whatever setting or arena that a chaplain may be found - there you may find a woman.
