Educated as health care psychologist I took studies to become chaplain in palliative care. In our country one can be 'chaplain' without being connected to a church. A very interesting positon for a liberal religious person who does not want to be connected to a church with all kind of dogma's. And wants to be able to seen as a person who offers help to anybody, being believer or not. Being remonstrant and member of Vrijzinnigen Nederland I wander around in more or less feeling christian or more general religious.
