Does a candidate profess faith? This is a critical question in a faith-based institution, and a valuable question in a private or public institution. Does that person appear to live by principles of faith? The confluence of these two responses is another critical integrity test. Of course, everyone makes mistakes, but the candidate’s “compass heading” is the issue. Is the candidate’s life going in the right direction? Is there evidence that this person is attempting to be faithful? Are his or her decisions consistent with scriptural teaching? Selecting the wrong champion at this point could destroy the effectiveness of any physician champion within an institution for several years, while other physicians forget the bad experiences. Discernment is critical. Plan to pray several times one-on-one with your candidate, especially during times of discernment and particularly with this decision in mind. Stay open to God’s direction. Clarity will come.
What are your thoughts on expressions of faith in a faith-based hospital?
