Trying to cover their bad image they set in place, Hospice by the Sea, Boca Raton Senior Chaplain Fred Mortensen stated the following after “Veteran chaplain Mirta Signorelli resigned last month.”
This Mortensen “explanation” does nothing to make sense. It only exposes him as a theological liberal who opposes believing Chaplains such as Signorelli.
Mortensen states via Sun Sentinel.com:
“The only time the issue has risen among our hospice team has been
concerning all-staff meetings that do not in any way include patients
or families. Chaplains, who sometimes are asked to give inspirational
talks at such meetings, have been told to keep the diversity of staff
members' beliefs in mind. It was a ‘suggestion — not a policy, not a
directive.’”
Now let’s get this straight. If a chaplain is
working at hospice and is given a “suggestion” to go easy on mentioning
“God” in staff meetings, that is in reality a “policy.”
Try defining it in any other way and you are canned. Ever been there? Done that? Then you know truth.
To
quibble over “suggestion” and “policy” reveals the reality that Hospice
administration is desperate in attempting to weave a cover over their
misstep, in fact, their cruelty against a believing Chaplain.
Further,
does not the administration know that when a believing Chaplain is
hired—and becomes what they themselves refer to as a “Veteran”
chaplain—that means that administration expects that individual
to be honest to that person’s ethic.
A
believing chaplain, of all persons, is bound to a particular moral base
that includes a particular theological terminology. The fundamental of
fundamentals in that terminology is the word “God.”
Any questinos?
Moreover,
if there is staff in staff meetings who are atheists or agnostics or
whatever, let them be mannerly enough to live alongside a believing
Chaplain who uses the word “God” and “Lord” and “Jesus” in inspirational messages to staff.
If they can’t live with that, then let them quit. They can get jobs at a humanistic hospice.
Don’t
put pressure on the believing Chaplain to resign, making it so
uncomfortable for her that she has no choice but to resign or
compromise her believing convictions.
Instead, the
administration defends the unbelieving staff members against a
believing “Veteran” Chaplain. That is unethical. It is unkind. It is
discourteous. It should then be broadcast to the world as a cruelty
leveled against a believing Chaplain, hence these posts on various
global websites.
In addition, everyone knows that there are
believing Chaplains and unbelieving Chaplains. There are Chaplains who
are humanists—that is, persons who don’t believe in any deity. Why they
are “Chaplains,” only hell knows.
Now it is evident that the
hospice head Chaplain is going to the press to say that Hospice by the
Sea is reasonable in what it did. The believing Chaplain has been
unreasonable, he states.
Who then is this head Chaplain? He is obviously a theological liberal who is an enemy to all believing Chaplains.
There are biblical clergy. There are unbiblical clergy.
They
are both referred to as “clergy.” Now the unbiblical clergy head at
Hospice by the Sea is lambasting the believing Chaplain in defense of
the worldly Hospice by the Sea administration.
It’s an old fight—right against wrong, godly against ungodly, biblical believing personages against
the opposite.
