The Pastor As Spiritual Guide

by Howard Rice

Overview

Howard Rice frames the work of the pastor in a new metaphor that renews both pastors and those they serve. The pastor as spiritual guide is one who finds his or her core identity in helping persons find meaning in life through a transforming relationship with God.

From the perspective of spiritual guidance, the primary skill brought to the work of pastoral ministry is one’s own faith and willingness to share one’s journey with others who are seeking.
