CERTIFIED ISLAMIC PROFESSIONAL CHAPLAIN (CIPC)

Introduction

Muslims are part of the religious and cultural landscape of Britain. As with other communities, they are affected by a number of social problems in all sections of society. The need is growing for Muslim chaplains in Further and Higher Education, the National Health Service (including hospices), social welfare, prisons, the Police, Armed Forces and Industry. An overview of the situation in Europe reveals a similar pattern. As Muslims become an integral entity within the social fabric, the development of strong institutional infrastructures become essential.

The development of specific courses which facilitate and train professionals working in the areas of chaplaincy and pastoral care are illustrated by the current situation of Muslim communities in the UK particularly, and in Europe generally.

What Does a Chaplain Do?

Chaplains lead nondenominational religious services and provide spiritual support to those who are unable to attend organized religious services. A chaplain may work in a hospital, prison, or university, or serve as part of the military. Although prison, military, school, and hospital chaplains work in very different environments, they all provide spiritual guidance to individuals who don’t have access to formal religious services offered by their faith of choice.

Course Overview:

This module is designed to enhance students knowledge, skills and understanding of contemporary chaplaincy in traditional and contemporary settings. The historical precedence for Chaplaincy is evaluated, along with the scriptural and theological basis for chaplaincy. Students analyse a range of models for chaplaincy and consider their relevance for personal practice. The module has a particular emphasis on developing a ‘philosophy for practice’ in the students setting and will support students to develop an action plan and/or critical view for developing Chaplaincy services in their setting.
