All disciples of Jesus Christ are called to care for one another whether they have a formal role or not, and exercise pastoral care by listening, encouraging, comforting, offering practical help, praying. In times of crisis and in everyday life, good pastoral care people feel known and loved by God, and valued in the church.
This short, yet comprehensive guide lays a biblical foundation for good pastoral care, offers a theological approach to understanding people, considers the particular needs of the sick, children and families, and those in difficult circumstances, and outlines the boundaries within which all can be safe. Throughout, examples and questions for reflection will deepen understanding and enrich practice.
Michael Hopkins has more than twenty years’ experience of pastoral ministry in the URC and ecumenically. He studied at Durham, Oxford, Birmingham, and Chester, and has trained those preparing for ministry at ministry at Westminster College Cambridge, Sarum College, and on the URC Lay Preachers course.
