Australian College of Theology Monograph Christ's Under-Shepherds: An Exploration of Pastoral Care Methods by Elders in the Christian Reformed Churches of Austra, (Hardcover)

The calling of elders is to be "shepherds of God's flock." Yet across the world elders are struggling to do that well. This very practical investigation identifies the obstacles to pastoral care from the side of the clergy, the elders, and the people themselves. A practical way forward is developed using an approach that enables the local elders themselves to find a solution.
