Ryan LaMothe. J Relig Health. 2018 Apr.

Abstract

This article explores some of Donald Capps' contributions to the ministry of pastoral counseling. In particular, several key attributes of pastoral counseling as a ministry of the church are identified and discussed. This is followed by identifying six features necessary for good enough pastoral counseling. A final brief section offers some musings that I wish Capps could respond to.

Keywords: Boundaries; Congregation; Hospitality; Humility; Judiciousness; Pastoral counseling; Sacrament; Self-awareness.
