Foundations of Chaplaincy

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Through years of pastoral ministry, I have been blessed to serve with retired military chaplains, along with those in active duty. These persons have been amazing partners in the life and witness of local congregations. It is obvious that Alan Baker’s book, Foundations of Chaplaincy, would have been a very helpful resource for all of us involved in these relationships. With great wisdom, Admiral Baker provides insight into the chaplaincy and ministry. I am encouraging chaplains to read Foundations of Chaplaincy, along with lay leaders of local parishes, especially those in military communities. I thank Alan Baker for his distinguished service in the chaplaincy, and for sharing his knowledge of this critical and influential area of ministry. I am sure that the men and women who have embraced this call will greatly benefit from the counsel found in Foundations of Chaplaincy.”
