Most people focus on pastoral ministry--the activities, programs,
and outreach connected with the life of the church--when
considering the work of a pastor. But one of the most important
parts of a minister's job is pastoral care--activities such as
compassion, healing, sustaining, guiding, and reconciling people to
one another and to God. People today earnestly seek a minister who
knows their names and cares about their hurts. Foundations of
Pastoral Care introduces both clergy and laity to the ministry
skills and personal qualities needed to provide effective care for
people inside and outside the church. With thorough examination,
Professor Bruce Petersen traces the historical development of soul
care from the primitive church and on through the centuries to the
church of today. In unit one, he introduces the place of pastoral
care in the local church. He emphasizes the unique responsibility
of church leaders and pastors to provide spiritual guidance while
caring for the physical and emotional needs of their people. In
unit two, he examines the pastoral care roles clergy are asked to
fill--shepherd, counselor, collaborator, and spiritual leader. In
unit three, he addresses the need for a pastoral presence in the
life of the church, and in unit four, he concludes with a
discussion about the pastor's personal life and the importance of
personal spiritual formation. Foundations of Pastoral Care provides
the fundamental elements pastors and church leaders need to care
for people in meaningful, personal ways with the love, compassion,
and grace Christ showed during His ministry on earth.
