Across North America and Europe, Muslim chaplains are increasingly taking up institutional chaplaincy appointments, especially in the health and education sectors. Slowly but surely, Muslim chaplaincy work is beginning to become a recognised career path, and an especially important one for Muslim women wishing to exercise a professional religious vocation. The volume of research associated with this growth is arguably resulting in a distinctive field of ‘Muslim Chaplaincy Studies’, to which this new volume makes an important contribution.

This practitioner-orientated volume offers a theological grounding for the role, alongside insights about the realities of working as a chaplain. The accounts and pastoral case-studies you will read in this book are honest, reflective, and full of wisdom.
