Episode 13: C. James Parker: A journey Towards Self-Compassion
Dr. C. James Parker is the lead Chaplain with Palladium Hospice and Palliative Care. In February, he published an article with the Journal of Healthcare Chaplaincy entitled "Self-compassion and health care chaplaincy: the need for integration into clinical pastoral education." He joins us remotely in the studio to talk a little bit about his journey towards self-compassion.
James has had a remarkable journey from his humble upbringing in New York to serving in the United States military. It was during his military service that he sensed a call to ministry. With a strong support from his wife and children, he was able to pursue both his education and call to ministry. He is now serving as the Lead Chaplain with Palladium Hospice and Palliative care.
