Spiritual Care
Bonhoeffer says spiritual care is a function
of the congregation and that it is an aspect
of the broader, more encompassing activity
of proclamation. In Spiritual
Care, we are confronted with the awesome
truth that in speech God's presence is known
and that speech is also our own; in silence
God's presence is known and that silence is
also our own. The text demands us to
consider how the gospel message is brought
to people in the midst of their personal
lives, and his message and counsel use the
tools given within the traditional life of
the church so that such grace becomes
enacted, enfleshed, and incarnate in the
Christian community.
