Into the Depths : A Chaplain’s Reflections on Death, Dying and Pastoral Care
£12.99
Pastoral care is central to Christian ministry, and it can take ministers to the edges of human life. Chaplains often work on the edge of institutions, and frequently on the edge of society. In this thoughtful and practical book, Rosie Deedes draws on her experience as a chaplain in prisons and hospices and reflects on the nature of pastoral care and the contribution chaplaincy can make to the life and ministry of the Church.
Focusing particularly on the taboo subject of death and dying, she shows how ministers such as clergy and chaplains are called to go ‘into the depths’ of human life to share the love and compassion of God. Reflecting on a number of pastoral encounters, the book invites ministers to confront the depths of human life and to develop resilience that enables them to engage in depth with all they encounter.
