Contents:
Care shaped by place -- Care engaging community -- Care intersecting with leadership -- Care responding to diversity -- Rural poverty, class, and care -- Rural violence and care -- Rural health and wholeness -- Learning from rural communities and congregations.
Summary: Pastoral care in rural communities is different from care in other locales. Despite these differences, rural churches and communities also hold a particular wisdom from which the rest of the church might benefit. Small towns and rural areas have particular challenges, and in seeking to live out the Christian life in the midst of those, local churches have unique and useful insights into what it means to care for one another.
