Coronavirus has changed the landscape. We face new challenges in the method of shepherding, counselling and administering God's Word and serving the spiritual and physical needs of the flock. Pastoral counsellors must now live in the calling and make themselves available to serve those in need. See the special edition of CPSC Notes with contributions on dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic and the uncertainty it creates.

ACRP

PROFESSIONALISATION
