{"product_id":"9781506410272","title":"Beyond Church Walls: Cultivating a Culture of Care","description":"\u003cp\u003ePastoral care has been traditionally understood as pastoral acts administered to individuals or small groups by an ordained or lay religious practitioner. As congregations in the twenty-first century begin to reclaim the missional nature of church, this view must be broadened to include care and concern for the needs of the larger community. A missional perspective of pastoral care embraces the notion that all of God’s people—not just trained professionals—are called to partner in the healing and redemption of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Beyond Church Walls, Rick Rouse sets out to articulate precisely what such an approach to pastoral care looks like—and the substantial impact it can have on congregations and communities. A skilled teacher and pastor with deep experience in real communities, Rouse leads readers through the changing realities of the twenty-first century and to new ways for missional churches to succeed in offering pastoral care for the whole community.\u0026lt;p\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augsburg Fortress, Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179046191344,"sku":"9781506410272","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781506410272_p0.jpg?v=1763719842","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781506410272","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
