Together they created a new pastoral care framework, which focuses on the Divine Investment in each person, on their soul identities and life stories, to create meaningful engagement. Through academic discussion and personal stories, \u003ci\u003eEngaging the Sacred\u003c\/i\u003e explores not just Anderson's framework, but also the evidence of its success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Anderson\u003c\/b\u003e is a Baptist minister in Louisville, Kentucky.
