These posts correctly point out how many factors can influence a chaplain's appreciation for ability to deal with diversity. While CPE is generally considered foundational training, many other factors also come into play. I hire chaplains to work in hospitals in the New York City area. I am very careful before I hire someone who has never lived in a major city. Some people are excited by this change and others cannot cope with it. Someone exposed to many traditions is obviously a plus.
