1. Executive Director’s Reflection
Last Wednesday was Ash Wednesday, beginning our Lenten journey together. I could not help but look upon and be grateful for our NACC logo.
When you look at it, does the style of the cross remind you of anything? If you thought the ashes on the forehead on Ash Wednesday, you are correct. It means the intent of the logo worked!

The new NACC logo was developed in late 2014-early 2015 by our NACC member Tim Creech, BCC, with the NACC Board of Directors’ input and guidance. This symbol seemed to capture our mission, as we daily attend to those facing the vulnerability and limits of our humanity – remember where you came from and where you will return as you live in the life-giving and life-saving shadow of the cross.

At the time of its design, Tim also noted, “The symbol is made up of four ‘arrows’ each pointing to the center square that symbolizes the wholeness, universality, and unity of the Church.” The four colors of the cross remind us of the liturgical seasons, the sacramental life. Every time I view it I smile as it’s so passionate in its color, vibrant and pulsating in its feel! It evokes life, love, and hope for me – as does your ministry and our mission to continue the healing ministry in the name of the Church!

I hope every time you look upon our logo you are also reminded of the sacredness of our ministry as we accompany compassionately and with a sure hope each person as he or she experiences life’s vulnerability. Perhaps, this Lent be the season when you wear your NACC membership pin or put it in a prominent place so you see it and allow it to remind you of our holy call.

Can I also make a strong appeal to you to come to this year’s National Conference, May 31-June 3, 2019? This will be such a unique conference for you, and all of us, as we celebrate and honor our being partners in the Church pastoral care ministry and live out this ministry as professional board-certified chaplains, chaplain members, and the many other of you who provide spiritual care to diverse communities. We want to highlight, learn from, and celebrate these diverse ministries that embody the healing ministry of the Church. You won’t be disappointed as we reflect on the ecclesial roots and contexts of our professional ministry!

Our 2018-2020 Strategic Plan included these statements: https://www.nacc.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Composite-of-Strategic-Plan-07.2018.pdf

In 2021 NACC will be viewed as a vital and vibrant leader among:

Our professional Strategic Partners for Spiritual Care
Our Catholic Partners in Pastoral Care Ministry serving the continuum of care for the ill, aging, isolated and vulnerable (health care, parish, correctional, and other settings) needing spiritual care.

NACC will do so by leading the partnership initiatives among pastoral care ministries to:

Provide a network among pastoral care providers
Identify core levels for formation tied to competencies
Design and deliver program for the levels
Develop and administer tracks for professional credentialing
Offer ongoing ministry formation support

We want and need you to be participants in this direction. Our plan also says this about all of us:

NACC members will have more ways to:

Be in relationship with, a leader for, and professional/education resource within, the local Catholic community and its bishop leaders
Be part of advocating for professional chaplaincy and encouraging others to the vocation.

Our 2019 Conference is part of this entire initiative. We view this Conference as an opportunity to engage with one another on ways to make these aspirations even more of a reality.

Blessings on our Lenten journey together.

David Lichter, D.Min.
Executive Director

20. Did you see the Pope’s comments on spiritual care as part of total care?

https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2019/03/04/caring-for-the-ill-should-include-spiritual-assistance-pope-says/

21. Are you familiar with the I Thirst healing initiative?
The I THIRST Initiative seeks to provide this spiritual remedy by offering consultation and training which focuses on Education/Prevention, Support for Treatment Facilities and those Incarcerated, and Aftercare and Community Building for the afflicted and their families. Additionally, I THIRST offers a series of programs for parishes, secondary schools and higher education that include:

A Pastoral Care Guide
Spiritual Companionship
College Campus Ministry
Parish/Assembly

Addiction is a defining problem of society, with physiological and mental health components which must be addressed. Ultimately, however, the desolation, the abandonment and the guilt which are all ‘hallmarks’ of the addicted life, are in many ways spiritual problems which require a spiritual remedy.

I THIRST, as a Healing Initiative for Recovery, Spirituality, Twelve steps, empowers the Church to Be a Resource for those Suffering with Addictions and Their Families. The goal of the I THIRST Initiative is to serve the specific needs of the afflicted and their families by offering spiritual consolation, and guidance as well as recovery resource information by well informed and educated clergy and laity. The programs and curricula provide comprehensive resource information. In this way, the Church can better live up to its obligation to be present and available to its flock in the midst of this great societal malady.

22. There is still time to register for the March webinar in our 2019 series!

Thursday, March 21, 2019. Spirituality in the Context of Secondary Trauma presented by Rev. Dr. Beth L. Muehlhausen, PhD, MDiv, BCC.

This webinar will share findings from a qualitative research project that sought to understand the role of spirituality in vicarious trauma. Doctors, nurse practitioners and physicians’ assistants who work directly with trauma patients were interviewed regarding how their spirituality impacted their work and how their work impacted their spiritual beliefs. Participants included 16 Protestant Christians, 7 Roman Catholics, 1 Hindu, 1 Muslim, 1 Conservative Jew, and 10 with no declared religious affiliation. Physicians represented trauma surgery, orthopedics, emergency, critical care/pulmonology and neurosurgery. Spiritual patterns emerged across religions and specialties including: 1) spirituality as a guiding force 2) strong need for a support system 3) use of coping mechanisms and 4) vicarious growth.

Program Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

Articulate a beginning understanding of qualitative research, specifically phenomenology methodology.
Identify and discuss themes of most interest to spiritual care providers (positive and negative coping).
Discuss implications for spiritual care departments in caring for front line staff who work with trauma patients and their families.

About the Presenter
Dr. Muehlhausen has been a chaplain with Ascension Health for the past seven years, is an ordained minister in the Christian Church Disciples of Christ and a licensed clinical social worker. She has led several research projects, currently splitting her time as a staff chaplain for St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis and working as a spiritual care researcher for Ascension Health. She has presented her research at the North American Association for Christians in Social Work, Association for Professional Chaplains (APC) and Transforming Chaplaincy. She is leading Ascension Health’s first system-wide spiritual care research project covering six states, exploring chaplain outpatient services to people with congestive heart failure. She will present findings from that project at the annual APC conference in June 2019.

23. April’s webinar is coming soon – register now!

Thursday, April 4, 2019. Outpatient Chaplaincy – From Vision to Practice During Our First Year, presented by David W. King, MMin, NCCA Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor, Certified Spiritual Director; Laura P. Parsons, BCC; James D. Richter, MA Theology and Bea Broder-Oldach, DMin, BCC.
As healthcare migrates to clinics, surgery sites and non-acute locations, chaplains must urgently follow in order to best serve patients and staff. This webinar will allow participants to explore new opportunities for spiritual care without embedding, following Bon Secours Mercy Health’s Cincinnati pilot, Outpatient Spiritual Care Services during their first full year and into a regional roll-out. While not a ‘primer’, this webinar provides ample encouragement for others to find their own vision for the future. It explores how determination, connection and grant funding can be a catalyst for migration of services as the progressive and pro-active mandate for the future of professional chaplaincy in healthcare!

Program Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will:
1. View outpatient Chaplaincy in healthcare as a 21st century horizon that is reachable if driven by Mission
2. Understand how vision, clinical support(s) and alternate funding can help create energy for expansion
3. Embrace Ambulatory care centers – wound, CHF, pulmonary, PT/OT, Diabetes and especially PCP offices as new sacred ground for chaplains and their ministry.

28. Would you please consider participating in a chaplain survey? *
Chaplain Elizabeth Kitamura of NYU Langone Health requested our participation in a valuable survey. She writes, “Recently, a number of stories have been published about controversial cases in which families objected to declaration of death by neurologic criteria (brain death). As a neurointensivist with an interest in neuroethics, I am working with a chaplain at my hospital (NYU Langone Medical Center) to explore the perspective of hospital chaplains on the use of neurologic criteria to declare death. We would greatly appreciate your willingness to provide us with your thoughts on this topic by completing a brief (10 minute) anonymous survey at https://openredcap.nyumc.org/apps/redcap/surveys/?s=W4A7ETEF8L. The results will be included in a research study which will ultimately be submitted for publication. If you have any questions, please feel free to email ariane.kansas.lewis@gmail.com. Thank you very much.
