Abstract: | The reflections in this article are based on my experience over the past ten years as hospital chaplain of a large district general hospital within the UK National Health Service. I realize the limitations of this experience, but I hope that I may achieve some insights that have a wider application. I attempt to bring my hospital experience into a creative relationship with other aspects of my life, which include a commitment to Christian–Muslim dialogue, and a background of life and work in the Middle East, where I worked for the Anglican Church in Lebanon and Syria from 1973 until 1982. |
