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
.
