What is a digital chaplain?

A digital chaplain is a spiritual care professional who provides support, counseling, and guidance through online platforms and digital communication tools. They serve individuals or communities in virtual spaces, such as social media, video calls, chat, or email, rather than in traditional physical settings. Digital chaplains offer spiritual care, crisis support, and religious services to people who may not have access to in-person chaplaincy, making spiritual support more accessible and inclusive in the digital age.
