The Deanery for the Chaplaincy is the home for Chaplains ecclesiastically endorsed to serve in the Anglican
Church in North America (ACNA) and provides, through the Convocation of Anglicans in North
America (CANA), a canonical residence and/or licensing of Chaplains. We hope you enjoy your visit to this
website, that you find the answer to your questions about Chaplaincy within CANA/ACNA, and that you are encouraged by the work God is doing through the vital ministry of Chaplains. We encourage you to

Why is the Chaplaincy Special?
In today's society, when people think of ordained clergy, the most common picture is that of a church or parish minister. While the church minister carries an incredible responsibility to shepherd a congregation, many people need and seek the guidance and presence of ordained and highly trained deacons and priests at times outside the usual weekend service of a traditional church. In fact, there exist many who do not have the opportunity to be involved in their home church or parish such as members of the military or homebound medical patients. Chaplains fill the void and so much more... and they do ministry with specialized training to meet their critical call. Much like a doctor specializing in a specific area of medicine, Chaplains are highly trained clergy who function in their specialized environments.
