Since ordination, nearly 40 years ago, John has been a parish priest; Senior Selection Secretary at Church House, Westminster; Director of Ordinands, and Canon at Southwark Cathedral.
Those of us who have a ministry of pastoral care cannot be an expert on everything but between simple ignorance and specialist knowledge there is a place for informed help and caring. This book provides support for those who may feel anxious about their lack of basic knowledge when faced with a situation they haven't encountered before. Covering topics such as Abortion, Cancer and Debt, each chapter gives suggestions about the help that might be offered while also listing names and contact details of selected organisations and other sources of further assistance.
