A thoughtful examination of the roles played by chaplaincy and spiritual care in hospices
Karen Murphy has worked in hospice chaplaincy for twenty years and
has represented chaplaincy at national and international level. She
is President of the Association of Hospice and Palliative Care
Chaplains (AHPCC).
Bob Whorton is Chaplain at Sir Michael Sobell House and the author
of Reflective Caring (SPCK, 2011) and Voices from the Hospice (SCM,
2015).
This book explores the chaplain's unique role and the privilege of
being involved in the lives of those who approach death. Varied
contributors helpfully probe the inner life of the chaplain and her
relationships with staff and volunteers. It explores the changing
role of the hospice chaplain, but has great relevance for all
involved in End of Life care. I wholeheartedly commend it to all
who have an interest in healthcare chaplaincy.

of Health Care Chaplains*
Challenged by the exigencies of health economies and the demands of
secularists, chaplaincy is in transition. The diverse voices
brought together by Murphy and Whorton speak to that transition
with harmony and clarity about the 'traditional' values that shape
chaplaincy identity and care, and that determine the distinctive
contribution chaplains make to multi-professional team working.
*Revd Dr Steve Nolan, Princess Alice Hospice, Esher, and The
University of Winchester*
Fifty years after Dame Cicely Saunders founded the first modern
hospice in 1967, this book is a timely and fitting tribute to her
legacy. It consists of a series of reflections by chaplains and
allied professionals, and is packed with inspiration, experience,
and good practice.
*Church Times*
Anyone who is involved in hospice work, or anyone working with
people who are ill and lost, will find much in this book which is
of value.
*Methodist Recorder*
