The lecturers led theoretical and practical lessons on pastoral care. They spoke about 6 methods that can be used when working with people in difficult life circumstances. These methods can be used in order to establish communication and dialog with the person seeking care and can help clarify the situation of need. By learning these methods in a consistent way pastors can provide quality care to those who have spiritual needs.
