The meaning of pastoral care in modern multicultural societies is
challenged and re-examined from a pluralistic, global perspective
in this book. Emmanuel Lartey stresses the importance of
recognizing different cultural influences on individuals in order
to effectively counsel, guide and empower them. He provides a clear
and concise history of pastoral care and considers its relationship
to different models of counseling and spirituality. This new
edition has been updated to reflect postmodern and postcolonial
studies and provides illustrations of how an intercultural approach
can work in practice. Theological teachers and students will
welcome its return as an indispensable introduction to the field of
pastoral care. In Living Color is an essential source of
inspiration to leaders from any religious stream who wish to
provide pastoral care in a way that reflects their community's
cultural diversity. This book is also a useful resource for
practitioners in a wider range of caring contexts who work in
multicultural environments.
