===Environmental=== Environmental chaplaincy is an emerging field within chaplaincy. Environmental chaplains (also known as eco-chaplains, Earth chaplains, nature chaplains) provide spiritual care in a way that honors humanity's deep connection to the earth. Environmental chaplains hold many roles. They may support people working on the frontlines of issues like climate change or other environmental issues or they may support people impacted by industrial or other disasters by providing pastoral care, presence, and rituals. Environmental chaplains may also bear witness to the Earth itself and represent the merging of science and spirituality. Their role can be to "usher in a new conscience and consciousness to find contentment, the appreciation of inner riches over outer wealth, quality over quantity" using universally appreciated values, such as honesty and vision.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chaplaincy Program Graduates |url=https://www.upaya.org/uploads/pdfs/Corinna.pdf |publisher=Upaya Zen Center |access-date=August 20, 2015}}</ref> Sarah Vekasi<ref>{{cite web |title=The Work that Reconnects |url=http://ecochaplaincy.net/ecochaplaincy.html |publisher=the Eco-Chaplaincy Initiative |access-date=August 20, 2015 |archive-date=August 13, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150813074331/http://ecochaplaincy.net/ecochaplaincy.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> created a vision of eco-chaplaincy inspired by [[Joanna Macy]]'s The Work that Reconnects,<ref>{{cite web |title=The Work that Reconnects |url=http://workthatreconnects.org |publisher= The Work that Reconnects |access-date=August 20, 2015}}</ref> and saw eco-chaplaincy as a path to facilitating the "Great Turning," which is described as the turning away from a business-as-usual way of being and turning toward a life-sustaining way that protects people and the planet.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Great Turning |newspaper=Work That Reconnects Network |url=http://workthatreconnects.org/the-global-context/ |publisher= The Work that Reconnects |access-date=August 20, 2015|date=2012-09-21 }}</ref>
