- Abstract
- This new millennium finds most health care providers in some form of financial crisis. They cannot employ all the pastoral, spiritual, and emotional caregivers that are needed. The model in this project and paper expands upon the 'wholistic healing' of mind, body and spirit, using trained clergy and lay volunteers, recruited through community religious resources. Restructuring of a department of pastoral and spiritual care can offer Spirit-filled volunteers, encouragement, administrative support, training, and supervision. This benefits not only the health care provider but also the clients, their family, friends, staff personnel and the community they serve. There were different combinations of study and research used. They range from networking with other pastoral and spiritual care persons who work in medical facilities, reading some of the latest materials on what experienced persons in this discipline were researching, studying, and writing. Much of the project was also a result of 'on the job training,' drawing upon twenty-five years of background in pastoral, spiritual and emotional care. A conclusion reached is that clergy and lay volunteers, by reason of their baptism, are willing to assist health care providers in offering pastoral, spiritual and emotional care with patients and their families and staff personnel. Providing that health care systems assist in the recruitment, administrative support, training and supervision, wholistic healing can be a community resource.
