title: I am a hospital chaplain who happens to be a Jewish woman.
abstract: The author describes her experience through several quarters of Clinical Pastoral Education as a Jewish woman. She recounts the story of her own sense of urging toward chaplaincy as an expression of her spirituality, as well as much of the "mixed" nature of her journey among a predominantly Christian group. Included are stories of patient encounters as well as a record of her ongoing conversation with her surroundings.
