Using musical analogies, Gregory Clifton Smith explores the role of pastoral care, both from the point of view of performance and of music as a different form of engaging with life in extreme situations, such as war. Through the prism of music, he demonstrates the ongoing importance of pastoral care in religious communities.
Making the case for the relevance of pastoral care today, this book explores the role of pastoral care through the prism of music. Using musical analogies, the author provides a new way of understanding and practising pastoral care, grounded in practical theology. Challenging overemphasis on mission, he shows that pastoral care remains essential to the life of the church, especially when engaging with extreme situations such as dying, suffering or war, and considers the role of pastoral carers in the specific pastoral encounter and in the life of the church in general.
