Summary: | The author notes that historically the pastoral care community was seen as a product of the pastoral care organizations. Those pastoral care organizations were actually dynamic products of the emerging pastoral community. Unfortunately, this community was not nurtured beyond the gathering of certified supervisors, counselors, and chaplains. The author contends that the establishment of the College of Pastoral Supervision and Psychotherapy (CPSP) was an attempt to correct this oversight. Thus, he suggests, it is compelling to consider the Pastoral Care Chapter as a microcosom of a possible Order of Pastoral Care. Responses to this suggestion by pastoral care colleagues accompanies the article. |
