The initial Transforming Chaplaincy project, supported by the John F. Templeton Foundation, was guided by an Advisory Committee composed of chaplaincy practitioners, educators, administrators, and researchers. They’re leaders in research-informed chaplaincy and continue to play a key role in the development of Transforming Chaplaincy.
