Description

Bringing comfort and concern to the bedside of the unwell or dying is a challenge for lay people and clergy alike. In this practical guide, Neville Kirkwood shares his wisdom-gleaned from some twenty years of experience as a hospital chaplain-on the art of hospital visitation. This classic handbook is now up to date, with an all-new section addressing best practices for hospital chaplains.

Pastoral Care in Hospitals, with additional sections addressed to clergy and trained lay pastoral workers, in addition to atypical lay people who simply wish to seek advice from their fellow-parishioners, shows visitors how one can make the encounter meaningful and enriching to the patient. Kirkwood guides readers through the minefield of hospital visits-from false heartiness to too much talking-and offers a theology of visitation that can guide both professionals and laity in their ministry. Plenty of exercises and a section of prayers for specific circumstances make this a will have to-have resource for all who work with the unwell and dying, and a very good text for course work.
