A candid conversation with leading chaplains and pastoral theologians about the particular challenges facing those who provide spiritual care in health care settings. We discuss solutions for moral dilemmas facing spiritual caregivers: when “do no harm” is threatened by a chaplain’s bodily presence, and when acute moral stress is caused by denials of care and other pandemic dynamics. What unique value does spiritual care have in the COVID-19 pandemic?
