Healthy communities: The practise of pastoral care

Practising strengths based pastoral care...



Psalm 1 (The Message)
Psalm 1 1How well God must like you—

you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road,

you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.

2-3 Instead you thrill to God's Word,

you chew on Scripture day and night.

You're a tree replanted in Eden,

bearing fresh fruit every month,

Never dropping a leaf,

always in blossom.

4-5 You're not at all like the wicked,

who are mere windblown dust—

Without defense in court,

unfit company for innocent people.

6 God charts the road you take.

The road they take is Skid Row.

What on earth is the Question??? The overthrow of governments...

Sorry, this has come out late - - the third Sunday in Advent... you might like to save this up until next advent?? Mention is made of Kathleen Norris. The end of this podcast is abrupt, and yes, C did go on from there, however unfortunately the batteries of our very sophisticated technical device for recording this died at this point.... Apologies!

Mmmm. Meatballs! Isaiah 55

Listen, everyone who thirsts... you who have no money... listen carefully to me and eat what is good and delight yourselves in rich foods... Listen, so that you may live and I will make an everlasting covenant with you.

C preached this on the 29th March, 2009. One of her favourite verses...

28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."


Carolyn talked on 'The Practice of Rest' on the 21st September. There is a song, 'I will wait...' and reprise at the end of this podcast.

Practise of Forgiveness: 14th September

Keren talked on the practise of Forgiveness at St Kilda Baps, especially referring to the work of Miloslav Volf in 'The end of Memory'.  How do we remember rightly and will there be a day when we can actually forget some of the painful memories of suffering?
