About The BTS Center’s Climate Conscious Chaplaincy Initiative:
The BTS Center offers programs, an emerging network, and a growing collection of resources for chaplains and spiritual care providers serving in a variety of settings who recognize that the effects of the climate crisis are increasingly felt by all the Earth’s peoples. Those who are called to offer spiritual care will require particular
perceptions, postures, and practices to minister effectively and compassionately in a changed world. These programs address the growing necessity for responsive, skilled, compassionate spiritual care to focus on the short- and long-term needs of those who are, and will be, affected by the reality of conditions to which we must adapt, and of the changed landscape of which we must make sense.
