Created by God: Pastoral Care for All God's People

Created by God is an introduction to pastoral care from a theological perspective, one that argues toward a definition of pastoral care as bearing faithful witness to the joy of creation and the goodness of God. In ten cogent and compassionate essays, Peggy Way introduces concepts of pastoral theology that will open the way for congregations not only to care, but to be caring places. Each essay connects a practical theology of pastoral care with the ordinary world of congregations. It is an invitation to new ways of thinking about care and new possibilities in responding faithfully, realistically, and creatively to the woes and gifts of the human creature.
