“Stephen Faller is like no chaplain you have ever met. I say this not because he does his demanding chaplaincy work and writes his fascinating books from a wheelchair. Rather, it is the many perspectives from which he narrates chaplaincy, life, and faith. He is a faithful curator of secrets, which is one of the burdens of ministry.”


- Richard Lischer, professor emeritus, Duke Divinity School

Chaplain Faller conducted a recent webinar and discussed what it means to be a chaplain. Check out the video here.

An Interview with Stephen Faller

Learn more about the art of spiritual midwifery in my interview with Artem Zen.

  • It is an acutely observed, unsentimental account of life in a wheelchair, so engaging as to make an almost insider of the reader. It is also an account of the author’s spiritual and philosophical experiences . . . [i]t’s an instructive as well as moving piece of literature.

  • This amazing book . . . gives voice to “articles of faith” that belong to all positive transformative endeavors related to humans: spiritual, educational, parental, aesthetic, imaginative, ethical, societal, and more. Faller’s conceptualization of midwifery goes deep without invoking a transfer of knowledge, but rather the skillful facilitation of the individual’s own journey toward embracing meaning.

  • Faller is a storyteller. He shares stories of insight, doubt, resilience, failure, certainty, struggle, and self-awareness in a disarming way. The book is a narrative weaving of his themes rather than a linear exploration of each. I think it best read over time, sitting with the nuanced aspects so as to fully appreciate them. Faller’s personal stories and accounts of chaplaincy practice are engaging and so easily read they can obscure their depth.

  • Stephen Faller presents, with obvious glee, what he owns as a personal project to investigate the history of midwifery as a spiritual metaphor and bring to light the potential of the metaphor to aid spiritual care-givers in the task of birthing all that God would have birthed in and through those they are involved with.

    Dr. VJ Davidson, Review of The Art of Spiritual Midwifery, from APTS Press

  • “This book is firmly rooted in the experience of ministering within a healthcare setting. It offers deep reflection and makes interesting connections between philosophical thought and the practice of ministry within the author’s workplace. It will be useful for both students and practitioners who are looking for tools for reflection. It may also be of interest to those in wider fields of ministry who are seeking to reflect on the foundations of ministry.
