Unit Code: PC002-712
Pre or Co-requisites: Yes
To be human is to care. To be human is to live in a web of relationships: with our self, God, others, and the world around us. God is the ultimate caregiver, and we learn the art of care and nurture from him. In this unit, we will consider the foundations of pastoral care. At the core of pastoral care is a growing attentiveness to the work of Jesus in the midst of whoever and whatever is before us at the moment.
This unit requires study in the biblical, theological and historical texts in order to discover the nature of pastoral care, along with personal reflection on the work that Jesus is doing in your own life. We will also explore ways we can participate with God in helping them experience the nurturing care of Jesus.
96cps of study, including 36 cps at AQF level 6
