Every Christian is called to and gifted for ministry. The church can--and must--engage all of its members if it is to flourish fully. Far too often, persons with intellectual disabilities are excluded. While members with disability are often recipients of the church's ministry, they are seldom given the opportunity to reciprocate: persons with disability are not always fully empowered to minister. In Pastoral Care and Intellectual Disability, Anna Katherine Shurley asserts the church's need for mutuality in pastoral care. While the shape of each person's vocation is unique, all members of the body of Christ are created for ministry with one another as partners in spiritual care. In a quest for pastoral care that is fundamentally collaborative and fully inclusive, Shurley turns to the psychology of D. W. Winnicott and to Karl Barth's theology of Christian vocation. From this combination, she crafts person-centered pastoral care for the body of Christ and all its members, with or without intellectual disabilities. Person-centered pastoral care recognizes that people with intellectual disabilities can and must participate as partners in the church. Faith communities, Shurley suggests, can foster collaborative ministry by nurturing pastoral friendships among its membership. These sacred friendships are spaces in which people share their lives with one another as a truly collaborative practice of care. Through these pastoral friendships mediated by the presence of the Holy Spirit, all of God's children can live their particular vocations. By engaging person-centered practices of pastoral care, the church strengthens its witness and truly becomes a place of belonging for all people.

When Kate Anderson began her pastoral care work in a long-term care facility for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities, she found that the standard pastoral assessment tools didn't meet the unique needs or take into account the lived experiences of the very people they were meant to support.In response, Anderson and her colleagues turned to Relational Spirituality, an approach to the study of the soul that integrates psychology and theology. 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, Engaging the Sacred explores not just Anderson's framework, but also the evidence of its success.

An excellent source of information and ideas on the relationship between disability and spirituality—and how to improve it This one-of-a-kind collection explores the relationship between spirituality and disability from a variety of Australian religious and spiritual viewpoints. Authors from a wide range of backgrounds—some with disabilities, some without—draw remarkable insights from Christian, Jewish, Buddhist (and even non-religious) spirituality. These uniquely Australian perspectives provide practical and spiritual lessons that can be applied in any part of the world. Voices in Disability and Spirituality from the Land Down Under presents an unflinching look at the shortcomings of many established church ministries when it comes to serving people with disabilities. There’s also an extraordinary interview with a severely disabled nonreligious woman in the final stage of her life and her caretaker, which presents a very revealing look at the essence of human spirituality as it exists even in the absence of religious dogma. In addition, you’ll find a revealing case study focusing on the Uniting Church in Australia (UCA), which looks at the gap between its official theology and its actual policy and practice, and outlines a project designed to move the Church forward to more inclusive practices. Additionally, Voices in Disability and Spirituality from the Land Down Under: Outback to Outfront examines: why platitudes that are intended to give comfort, like “God has chosen this for you,” “It’s a test of your faith,” or “We all have our crosses to carry” are at best problematic, and at worst damaging—with suggestions for pastoral responses that offer alternatives to “God-is-on-your-side” clichés the spiritual meaning and importance of community for people with disabilities, and the impact of community on their vitality and resiliency the Buddhist teaching called sunyata, or emptiness, and its potential to positively impact the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and those who know them wisdom contained in the ancient Jewish system of laws called Halacha—and its potential for empowering people with disabilities today how a pastoral care program that is flexible, accommodating, and relevant for disabled people was created at a small metropolitan school in New South Wales—and the effect of the program on the community the work of the Personal Advocacy Service, which recruits volunteers to be companions to people with intellectual disabilities the role of religion and philanthropy in the creation of educational programs for blind or vision-impaired students and more

Here is a step toward encouraging a partnership between the church and the hospital for treating and evaluating patients with mental illness. Society is calling for participation of both in the process of healing the mentally ill and disabled. Pastoral Care of the Mentally Disabled addresses the perceived roles of clergy and physicians for healing the whole person, stressing that this best occurs when medicine and ministry are yoked. The contributing authors establish new tasks that must be developed to meet the needs of the whole person in the process of mending minds (medicine) and mending souls (ministry). Before Pastoral Care of the Mentally Disabled, there was a scarcity of interchange between religion and psychiatry. The sixteen contributors to this book encourage a partnership toward evaluating and treating patients with mental illness with chapters on such topics as: the role of faith in mental healing the more of mental health in spiritual growth personal history of Anton Boison, a leader in the pastoral care movement who suffered from mental illness practical application of concepts to a clinical case a partnership model for tending the mentally disabled Because this book encourages the working together of those in ministry and medicine, professionals from both fields--chaplains, pastoral counselors, psychotherapists, supervisors and students in clinical pastoral education, social workers, and clergy--can find much insight into healing the mentally disabled.

This volume is written for workers with any kind of pastoral responsibility whose speciality is other than what is called mental handicap or learning difficulty - those who when exercising a pastoral role usually fall back upon the talking treatment. No wonder they feel deskilled when confronted by a person with severe learning difficulties, with perhaps little or no speech and without the facility of reasoning.

Well known in mental health circles for his writing on mental retardation and community inclusion, Robert Perske is an important advocate for the developmentally disabled today. The Pastoral Voice of Robert Perske examines the earlier works (from 1963 to 1971) of Robert Perske, focusing on his role as a pastor and chaplain at the Kansas Neurological Institute. These articles were some of the first on ministry and mental retardation, yet they can easily be applied to the mental health and pastoral issues of today. Not only is this collection useful to clergy and spiritual administrators as well as mental health professionals, but the words of Robert Perske can be enlightening to the families of those who are developmentally disabled.
