Ministry of Presence•A chaplain represents a religious presence in a community. When people see a chaplain, they think of faith, church and their total religious experience, whether positive or negative. The presence of a chaplain brings comfort and consolation to those who have a positive relationship to their church and God.
•A chaplain moves among his people often to enhance a person’s relationship with God, express loving concern for those who are hurting and open the spiritual door for those who are seeking.

> Let them decide whether to remain where you are or go to another place to discuss their problem. The final decision must be theirs.
> Keep you part of the conversation to a minimum.
>Respond to passersby normally, but maintain mental presence of subject matter being discussed.
