What is pastoral care? Being present to others in a loving way, a relationship rooted beyond yourself, and what you say and do in this relationship.

Sound complicated?

Sharyl B. Peterson recognizes that as students learn more about specific areas of care - facilitating pastoral conversations, making hospital visits and planning funerals, offering bereavement care, and celebrating weddings and births - they also learn to draw connections to care and its theological foundations. "The Indispensable Guide to Pastoral Care" helps to link these elements by helping you to practice pastoral caregiving while you learn to explore various areas of care.
