Prospective candidates must acquire that training elsewhere. The most\r\ncommon roadmap for serving as in a chaplaincy role begins with the professional church worker\r\ncompleting a minimum of one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). However, in recent\r\nyears, CPE has shifted its stance on certain social issues that run counter to the theology of The\r\nLutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). For example, the organizational body that\r\nadministers CPE programs, The Association of Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE), supported\r\nthe formation of “a one-of-a-kind chaplaincy education unit, Spiritual Care of LGBT elders.”\r\nThis is but one of many possible environments where the LCMS is required to send her church\r\nworkers for formal institutional spiritual care training. Additionally, CPE does not train students\r\nin the art of Lutheran spiritual care, which is rooted in Word and Sacrament ministry. Therefore,\r\nwhat is lacking for LCMS professional church workers is a rigorous, formal education program\r\nthat intertwines Lutheran theology with spiritual care and allowing the students to be faithful in\r\ntheir confession. Lutheran Senior Services (LSS) is a recognized service organization (RSO) of\r\nthe LCMS and, in 2022, employed fifteen chaplains, the majority of whom are LCMS.\r\nHistorically, LSS has hosted CPE programs, but presently is unable continue this endeavor due\r\nto their previous CPE educator taking a call elsewhere. Ultimately, the training program\r\ndescribed in this dissertation was designed for seminary students who aspire to serve in\r\ninstitutional chaplaincy roles and to be administered at LSS’s flagship campus, Laclede Groves.\r\nUsing a variety of methods to ascertain feedback, the goal of this program is to increase the\r\npractical spiritual care competencies of all participants. Not only does increased spiritual care\r\nexpertise benefit the participants themselves, but it serves the church at large. Whether they are\r\nhospitalized, imprisoned, or admitted to a senior living community, residents, clients, and\r\npatients can be assured that church workers who have participated in this program will be able to\r\nprovide excellent spiritual care, deeply rooted in the art of Lutheran spiritual care, for them and\r\ntheir families."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["admin_set/default-default-approving","admin_set/default-default-depositing","admin_set/default-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Default Admin Set"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["bradley.hess@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1810748540811476992,"timestamp":"2024-09-20T20:32:56.842Z","score":1.0}],"facets":[{"name":"resource_type_sim","items":[{"value":"D.Min.
