The Chaplain's Compass

Chaplaincy in Antarctica: Exploring ministry with the explorers


Listen Later

In this episode of Chaplain's Compass, hosts John Betz and Alice Tremaine engage with Brett Baddorf, a chaplain with a unique journey that includes time spent in the icy expanses of Antarctica -- where he served as an unofficial chaplain to a diverse community of researchers and support staff. Brett shares his circuitous path to chaplaincy, the lessons learned from his experiences at the South Pole, and how these experiences shaped his approach to spiritual care in healthcare settings. In this episode, we explore themes of community, isolation, and the integration of spiritual care within interdisciplinary teams. Tune in to hear about the challenges and rewards of ministering in one of the most remote places on Earth and how these lessons apply to everyday chaplaincy work.
