We are constantly looking for articles addressing spiritual care and counseling from a practical perspective; articles that describe the concern or opportunity you engaged, how you engaged it, what happened, what you learned, and recommendations you would share with others facing similar concerns or opportunities.

We are also constantly looking for articles about your experience with Dr. Wayne Oates or interview articles with people of interest to spiritual care givers.
