The trials and tribulations of ordinary life are quite possibly the best teachers we can have. These are our regular opportunities for growth, times of exploring ways to deepen our faith and hope, of more fully understanding our journey, of responding to questions of ultimate purpose. Quite literally these are our most outstanding opportunities to renew the soul.


Working goals and assumptions of Spiritual Care
Formerly known among the helping professions as "Pastoral Counseling", the practice of Spiritual Care, as I understand and try to practice it, takes into consideration the following presuppositions:

1. Making values, beliefs, priorities real in daily life.
2. Accepting responsibility for the consequences of actions.
3. Emphasizing self-awareness as an essential element in wholeness.
4. Examining gifts and talents as well as recognizing areas for growth.
5. Healing wounds that manifest themselves through depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional behavior.
6. Increasing awareness of the unconscious self and using that knowledge to make positive changes.
