The
church world stands poised to mobilize the laity in meaningful
and substantial ways.
One significant advance
sees
the movement of church members
into
more hands- on caregiving of the sick, injured,
grieving and lonely. The pastoral care of the
congregation is slowly
shifting away from the pastors
back to the people.
Christian people will learn appropriate
outlooks, attitudes and the skills for
approaching, walking with, listening, and responding
.
