chaplainship
Religious officer role
Chaplainship is the position or office of a chaplain—a member of the clergy who serves an institution rather than a congregation, such as a hospital, prison, military unit, or university.
The term may also refer to the period during which someone holds such a position: During his chaplainship at the state penitentiary, he counseled hundreds of inmates.
