Practicing Care in Rural Congregations and Communities

by L. Shannon Jung, Jeanne Hoeft, Joretta Marshall

Book Overview

Pastoral care in rural communities is different from care in other locales. Despite these differences, rural churches and communities also hold a particular wisdom from which the rest of the church might benefit. Small towns and rural areas have particular challenges, and in seeking to live out the Christian life in the midst of those challenges, local churches have unique and useful insights into what it means to care for one another.
