Description
Summary:This article presents a roadmap for pastoral theologians, spiritual caregivers, mental health professionals, and the community-at-large to integrate community organizing with the resources of pastoral theology, spiritual care, and mental health to creatively and constructively transform the world. It argues that such an integration presents life-giving opportunities for justice and healing-oriented social revolution. To accomplish these ends, pastoral theologians, spiritual caregivers, and mental health professionals must take seriously community organizing’s goal of organizing people and organizing money to care for the world.
