As I take a legal approach to religion and spirituality, I reflect on how a chaplain can be beneficial as a resource to ethical concerns with which medical teams and patients/caregivers are confronted. This rather new approach can help medical professionals to understand the scope of a chaplain's work and to distinguish the work of a chaplain from that of clergy in organized religion.
