This is the first comprehensive treatment of the relationship
between the doctrine of the Trinity and pastoral care and
counselling. Neil Pembroke contends that an in-depth reflection on
the relational dynamics in the Godhead has the capacity to
radically renew pastoral practice. Pembroke applies the notion of
relational space to care in a parish setting. The life of the
triune God is defined by both closeness and open space. The divine
persons indwell each other in love, but they also provide space for
the expression of particularity. This principle of
closeness-with-space is applied in three different pastoral
contexts, namely, community life, spiritual friendship, and
pastoral conversations. The specialized ministry of pastoral
counselling is the focus in the second half of the book. Informing
the various explorations is the principle of participation through
love: the divine persons participate in each other's existence
through loving self-communication. Pembroke shows how this
trinitarian virtue is at the centre of three key counselling
dynamics: the counselling alliance, empathy, and mirroring.
