Scope and content

Item consists of a typescript of "Spirituality and Clinical Pastoral Education", a talk in which Nouwen describes clinical pastoral education and spiritual formation in the spirituality of care. He takes consolation as one of the most important modalities of care, and talks about consolation as the creation of a climate where sorrow can be mobilized and as a way to deepen human sorrow to the level where it can be shared. Real consolation is not to take people away from their pain, but to create a climate where pain can be shared. Care means to cry out with. Care also means to go even deeper, to what Nouwen calls the basic human melancholy that artists and musicians connect us with.
