NYT on Workplace Chaplains

An interesting and sympathetic piece in today's New York Times, At Boss's Invitation, Chaplains Come into Workplace and onto Payroll:

"From car parts makers to fast food chains to financial service companies, corporations across the country are bringing chaplains into the workplace. At most companies, the chaplaincy resembles the military model, which calls for chaplains to serve the religiously diverse community before them, not to evangelize."

It would be interesting to probe the working definition of "evangelization" - apparently it would not embrace the featured pastor's description of his work at a Tyson's chicken processing plant: "I treat everyone the same and my hope is that they will see in me the love of God."
