Perhaps the best resource for training people preparing for ministry is Developing Spiritual Care Capacity for Hospice Palliative Care: A Canadian Curricular Resource. This educational manual is designed to develop spiritual care capacity in those responding to end-of-life situations and needs. It is oriented particularly toward students, religious and spiritual leaders, and health care chaplains who are preparing for or are engaged in providing spiritual care at the end of life. Each session includes theoretical materials and practice exercises.
