Healing & Pastoral Care
In this edition of Chrism we are looking at the ways in which healing can be brought to people who, because of age, infirmity or caring responsibilities, are unable to take part in worship and other activities in their local church. Theresa Swann and The Reverend Terry Murnane write compassionately about ‘Not bringing but being Church’ in a residential care setting. The Reverend Alan Brown provides fascinating insights into ‘Pastoral Care in Hospital Chaplaincy’ and Helen Leathard examines issues in developing a parish policy for pastoral care. Articles about the caring community at Holy Rood House compliment these articles.
