The International Council on Pastoral Care and Counseling (ICPCC) met in August 2011 in Rotorua, New Zealand for its 9th International Congress. Various discussions in the field arose from actual challenges, such as the earthquake in Japan, social changes, and, mainly, deprivations all over the world. The ICPCC offers guidelines on how to cope with these situations, which also include the indigenous traditions of the Maori culture, projects on inter-religious encounter, etc. - all of which provoke a rethinking of traditional spirituality. The Congress proceedings are presented in this book as a state of discussion within this globalized network. (Series: Theologie: Forschung und Wissenschaft - Vol. 33)

The purpose of this book is to introduce the special phenomenon of Spiritual Counselling, as it is practised by Christians in South East Asian countries in the last 50 years. Reference is also made to the current theory and practice of Spiritual Care and Counselling, especially as a practice of Christian churches in different countries, predominantly in Indonesia. Previously, it was noticed that there was a lack of knowledge on the above-mentioned field, at least in the European context, but also globally. The author is part of an academic exchange on the subject of Spiritual Counselling between the two regions described: Indonesia (India and Japan attached) and South Africa. The latter is looked at with special regard to Spiritual and/or Pastoral Counselling. The theological frame of reference is Public Theology. It lays foundations, explores and designs the social implications of religious work, especially in multi-religious societies. The book does not aim at giving a perfect survey of the current state of research in the field. It is based on encounters with colleagues, interviews and documents.

Care, Healing, and Human Well-Being within Interreligious Discourses is an edited, peer reviewed volume of global perspectives on interreligious approaches to healing and well-being by 23 academics and practitioners from five different faith practices and 13 different cultures. With chapters by counsellors, chaplains, religious thinkers and linguists, the multifaceted nature of the volume provides an expansive approach to spiritual care and counselling.

The book is an outgrowth of 25 years of experience within the Society for Interreligious Care and Counselling (SIPCC) to promote better understanding and practices of intercultural and interreligious spiritual caregiving. Care, Healing, and Human Well-Being within Interreligious Discourses is an extraordinary assemblage of writings from diverse cultural, religious, and geopolitical contexts. By addressing methodological questions, challenges faced in the care of individuals, and care in public settings from Islamic, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu perspectives, this anthology moves the discourse on care and healing into a more adequate theological anthropology than has often undergirded pastoral care and counselling in most Western texts. This much-needed work will doubtless be crucial for chaplains and other spiritual care-providers seeking to offer genuinely interreligious and intercultural care in today’s globalized world. Emmanuel Y. Lartey, PhD, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Pastoral Theology & Spiritual Care Candler School of Theology, Emory University, GA, USA Given the variety of religious expressions in the contemporary world, providing interreligious care is a great challenge for caregivers. This book contributes to reflection on care and healing from an interreligious perspective by helping us to think about the theme not only from a theoretical approach, but also from methodological, practical, and culturally contextualized points of view that overflow with compassion. It is not to be simply read but studied and used as a bedside book by those engaged in the practice of human care.
