The promise of our faith is not that bad things won’t happen—they will and they do. The promise, by God’s grace, is that we won’t have to face them alone.

May we all be reminders of God’s presence.

Over the last several years, the demand for well-trained chaplains to serve in a variety of settings—military, hospital, hospice, prison, school, etc.—has grown exponentially.

[Brite Divinity School @britedivinity]

At the same time, more Brite Divinity School students are interested in serving as chaplains than at any other time in our history. Indeed, one of the dreams that received the most support on our Dream Board was for a more robust chaplaincy program at Brite.
