Beyond Interfaith Harmony
This article examines the evaluations of Emoena participants in the secularised and pluralised context of Flanders (Belgium) and the Netherlands, and their implications for existing knowledge about (the evaluation of) interfaith learning. Using Kirkpatrick’s four-level evaluation model (reaction, learning, behaviour/transfer, and results/future) the findings are based on the thematic analysis of qualitative interviews with 14 Emoena participants.…
Opening up the black box of chaplaincy
This study investigated the reported workings of a narrative and interfaith spiritual care intervention in palliative care at home called “In dialogue with your life story.” It was developed to address clients’ spiritual needs in the religious plural context of the Netherlands. Thus far, how the intervention impacted clients’ spiritual well-being remained a black box. A thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with and workbooks of clients…
Evaluating the learning outcomes of interfaith initiatives
Interfaith initiatives are seen as promising sites for societal change and personal transformation. However, many questions about the actual outcomes of such initiatives have remained unanswered. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted, focusing on 1) the outcomes of interfaith initiatives and 2) the methods used to evaluate these outcomes. This review analyses 47 empirical studies on interfaith initiatives. The review of the initiatives’ ou…
Mapping the concept of fundamentalism
This scoping review of conceptualizations of fundamentalism scrutinizes the concept's domain of application, defining characteristics, and liability to bias. We find fundamentalism in four domains of application: Christianity, other Abrahamic religions, non-Abrahamic religions, and non-religious phenomena. The defining characteristics which we identify are organized into five categories: belief, behavior, emotion, goal, and structure. We find tha…
Chaplains’ Professional Identity and a Structured Approach to Chaplaincy
The trend towards evidence-based health care challenges chaplains to work with structured—predefined and standardized—interventions that lead to measurable outcomes. However, chaplaincy literature raises various objections against using a structured approach. These include compromising the chaplain-client relationship, standardizing and limiting chaplaincy content, and the instrumentalization of the spiritual dimension. Based on a thematic analys…
Treatment Alliance
Many mental health care patients, regardless of their religious beliefs, prefer a similar outlook on life with their professional caregivers. Patients experience greater openness to discuss religion and spirituality (R/S), mutual understanding, less fear of disapproval and report a higher treatment alliance. The question is whether the core problem of a so-called 'religiosity gap' (RG) lies in (a) an objective difference in outlook on life, (b) a…
Addressing spiritual needs in palliative care
Although many recognize the importance of addressing the spiritual domain in palliative care, empirically grounded interventions designed to alleviate spiritual needs for patients in palliative care are remarkably scarce. In this paper we argue that the development of such interventions for chaplains is important in order to improve spiritual care in a (post)secular and religiously plural context. We therefore propose an interfaith chaplain-led s…
The professionalization of chaplaincy A Comparison of 1997 and 2017 Surveys in The Netherlands
Chaplaincy has become increasingly professionalized in response to both the standardization in healthcare and the changing religious landscape. Whereas several studies have paid attention to the professionalization of chaplaincy as a whole, no research has been found that describes the implications for individual chaplains. The present article describes the professionalization of Dutch chaplains in the last two decades. We compared the results of…
Learning Orientations in Interfaith Initiatives
This study examines participants' self-reported learning orientations over the course of the interfaith leadership program Emoena.Participants started the program with a range of different expectations and motivations, and this influenced the insights they gained and the challenges they faced throughout the program.Based on an inductive analysis of participants' reflection reports, four interfaith learning orientations were distinguished: 1) lite…
Categorising interfaith learning objectives
Numerous scholars have emphasised that interfaith initiatives can contribute to personal transformation and enhance social cohesion, but it is often unclear if and how these initiatives effectively bring about the intended changes. This article argues that setting up a shared framework of interfaith learning objectives is a necessary first step towards organising and evaluating interfaith initiatives. After conducting a systematic scoping review,…
A spiritual care intervention for chaplains in home-based palliative care
Recently, the call for chaplains to become 'research literate' has been recognized by various scholars as well as by practitioners in the field. However, papers that present and discuss the study design and provide guidance on the methodology of chaplaincy research are scarce. The aim of this study is to present the design of a mixed-methods study that investigates the impact of a spiritual care intervention on patients' spiritual wellbeing in pa…
Does Faith Concordance Matter? A Comparison of Clients’ Perceptions in Same Versus Interfaith Spiritual Care Encounters with Chaplains in Hospitals
In religiously pluralized societies, caregivers frequently care for patients or clients with a religious, spiritual, or secular orientation that differs from their own. Empirical studies exploring the implications of this faith diversity for spiritual care interactions between caregivers and clients are scarce. Some literature suggests that similarities in faith orientation between caregivers and clients relate to better professional caring relat…
Spiritual Care for Everyone? An Analysis of Personal and Organizational Differences in Perceptions of Religious Diversity among Spiritual Caregivers
In multicultural and multifaith societies spiritual caregivers increasingly meet clients with diverse (non-)religious or spiritual orientations. We investigate how this religious and spiritual (R/S) diversity is dealt with by spiritual caregivers working in healthcare settings, the military, and prisons. Based on a survey among spiritual caregivers (n = 208) in a secularized, European country (The Netherlands), this study shows how spiritual care…
Addressing the spiritual domain in a plural society
This study aims to rethink the integration of spiritual care into healthcare in spiritually plural societies. Based on a systematic review of the theoretical literature, we analysed 74 studies and distinguish four positions regarding the integration of spiritual care into healthcare: generalist-particularists who see the spiritual domain as a field to be addressed by all professional caregivers and in which caregivers’ own spiritual orientations …
Multiple Religious Belonging among visitors of Dominican spiritual centers in the Netherlands
In the religiously pluralized Western world, a trend called ‘Multiple Religious Belonging’ (MRB) has been identified. Although it is a much theologically debated concept, empirical research on the practice of MRB is limited. The present research project therefore explores the phenomenon of MRB among visitors of Dominican spiritual centers in the Netherlands (n=472). It investigates to what extent and in which ways such visitors combine elements f…
