Abstract:
The master thesis deals with ethics in university chaplaincy. Ethics is essential
in human relationships and is present in all spheres of human life. It is not
different in academic settings. Professional ethics grounds the practice of the
university chaplaincy professional in his/her professional practice. Throughout
the work it was noticed that although the institution follows Christian precepts,
the ethos of which is based on the principles of love, community living, the
otherness, care, freedom with responsibility, professional ethics ultimately
incorporates such values, since being ethical is to act based on socially
constructed and accepted principles.. It was found that interpersonal
relationship between the university chaplain and the individual is based on trust,
allowing for open communication between them, but secretive. Thus, the
university chaplaincy, with a caring role, becomes a ministry of help and
pastoral care.
