What is Theological Engineering?  A form of Practical and Systematic Theology that focuses on daily living faith based actions for spiritual formation.

It can also to very interesting actions from a randomized stand point such as a flash mob in a mall or hospital that does a faith based moment of prayer.  A secondary component of Theological Engineering is religious based research and think tank activities.  This includes educational programs,  publication, and speaking (i.e., motivational, preaching and evangelism).

Overview of Chaplaincy:  It is a form of practical theology and pastoral counseling.  It functions in the contexts of:  coaching (goal setting, asking powerful questions), counseling (uncovering past issues) and consulting (giving (expert) advice) for both spiritual and life issues (including work).  You do not have to be religious or subscribe to a particular faith system to benefit from chaplaincy.  Just be open and receptive.    

The Benefits of Industrial Chaplaincy in Workplaces, Institutions and Other Environments:

     Chaplaincy helps leaders and employees through personal and work related issues, questions, struggles and decision making.  This becomes an on-site and tele-health service that includes a capability beyond the general scope of employee assistance programs.  Some  examples include issues related to family and personal relationships; addictions and divergent behaviors; self harm thoughts; co-worker and  team mate tensions, organizational change and restructuring.       Workplace chaplaincy can provide inspiration, do interviews with employees, 360 feedback to help performance, help with corporate social responsibility (internal social events, blood drives, neighborhood clean up, food bank, winter clothes gathering and etc...) and other general services (announcements, meetings, corporate events / initiatives, run ceremonies (MC), or general weekly spiritual service). 

     Chaplains are a voice of consciousness for the business.  This occurs through acting as an intermediary and liaison for management and leaders to help facilitate company vision, mission and values.  Foster ethical and quality considerations specific to a business.  Act as a mediator for internal company  collaboration, communication, team building and negotiation with external partners.  Teach and role model leadership development.  This includes enhancing job related (performance) for all levels.   Chaplains help to create a better working environment through care giving that translates to employee well being, motivation, renewed self worth and productivity focus and overall better company health.

     Chaplains are a person of conscience to simply listen and/or provide open unbiased feedback.  This is done by carrying themselves with an approachable attitude and demeanor.  Assisting  clients, customers, employees, inmates, leaders, patients, partners and suppliers with spiritual formation is a primary function; however, to use spiritual based counseling and approaches  to work through consciousness dilemmas and impasses can significantly help.  Guidance helps  people move past their blockages.  When people can see a way, then  they can stay focused and create a better balance across their personal  and professional life aspects.  Chaplains can be and provide resources for further action to unresolved issues including referral services for addictions, further counseling, self help programs and other unfamiliar faith based spiritual paths / systems for the individual chaplain.
