What
is unique about spiritual / pastoral care?
Spiritual / Pastoral care is concerned with establishing a
relationship or relationships with the main purpose to offer support
in a time of trouble and / or personal and spiritual growth. This is
achieved through a deeper understanding of helping self, others and
or / God. Pastoral Care will have at it's heart the affirmation of
meaning and worth and will seek to strengthen the human ability to
respond creatively to life's events.

Pastoral / Spiritual care
is usually located within a community of faith either because of it's
setting or because the carer is a representative of that community.
However, the care offered and the carer seeks to be sensitive to the
uniqueness of the spiritual journey of each human being respecting
individuality and the freedom to make choices.
Pastoral / Spiritual care
enjoys the freedom to draw upon the resources of the community of faith
such as in relevant holy text, rites, prayers and needs stated or
perceived by the person receiving care.
