This project explores and affirms the importance of pastors reclaiming visitation. Aggressively taking advantage of the privilege of being invited into people's homes and lives, the author explored Scripture, tradition, and church history to understand the importance of pastoral visitation. Questionnaires were sent to pastors and clerks of session on Long Island to understand their involvement in various areas of pastoral ministry. Nine months were spent in visitation with emphasis on twenty-five individuals or families. Some of these people were later interviewed to see if they valued the visits. Results indicated that clergy are missing something of immense importance if visitation is neglected.
