Abstract

This issue commences with a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most cited articles on religion. It then presents the first of a two-part series relating to research from Poland and progresses to examine the relevance of religion and spirituality to public health. Finally, this issue revisits the long-established and productive discipline of healthcare chaplaincy and various factors relating to parish clergy. A new theme of mindfulness and prayer is also introduced.

Keywords: Chaplains; Clergy; Mindfulness; Poland; Prayer; Public health; Religion; Spirituality.
