This contribution reflects on some of the most prominent findings in the survey on the chaplaincy response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The finding that chaplain respondents had difficulty understanding their own role prior to the first wave is of concern. If chaplains cannot articulate their own role, it is not surprising that those around them are also unclear. Chaplains are not the only ones to blame for the confusion around their role though.
本研究报告反思了针对神职人员应对 COVID-19 大流行情况的调查中最突出的一些发现。在第一波疫情之前,神职人员调查对象就发现自己难以理解自身角色,这令人担忧。如果神职人员自己无法明确自身角色,那么他们周围的人不清楚也就不足为奇了。不过,围绕神职人员角色的困惑不应归咎于神职人员一方。
