{"product_id":"ministry-among-gods-queer-folk-bernard-schlager-9781498241571","title":"Ministry Among God's Queer Folk, Second Edition","description":"This practical pastoral care handbook, written by two self-described queer people of faith, covers the basic skills that religious caregivers and ministry students need in order to be effective, enlightened, and supportive pastoral care providers to LGBTQ persons in congregational and other community settings. Authors Schlager and Kundtz distinguish pastoral care from pastoral counseling: while the latter is reserved for those with special training in the practice of therapy, the former can be developed by ministers and lay people with sufficient education and practice. This book requires of the reader no previous experience with LGBTQ communities and treats the following topics: the definition and functions of pastoral care; effective care in challenging times; coming out of the closet; creating communities of care; and caring for a wide variety of LGBTQ relationships. The authors provide case studies throughout the book to ground and illustrate their theology of pastoral care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Schlager, David Kundtz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498241573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498241571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Bernard Schlager","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936434225407,"sku":"9781498241571","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fa9911b4-8e11-436e-83da-93c5e8ca968f.jpg?v=1681425535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ministry-among-gods-queer-folk-bernard-schlager-9781498241571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
