I try my best to farm out those rituals to other Christian chaplains when possible, but on-call, the hospital holds that it's my responsibility. I haven't found a way to change the liturgy that honors the patient's tradition AND feels OK for me to do halachically (i.e. doesn't feel like avodah zera). Thoughts? Experiences? This whole interfaith chaplain residency is...a growing experience.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Interesting question, no?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>KT,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>MYG<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
