| Summary: | In a time when even spiritual programmes use business models to measure their effectiveness, the author proposes that it might be more effective to use a sacramental imagination as the ‘strategic plan' for pastoral care. While originally drafted from a Catholic’s experience in campus ministry, the author calls attention to other religious perspectives and incorporates some experiences of the 2020 global pandemic into an imaginative process. By engaging four elements of a eucharistic imagination (hospitality, gratitude, sacrifice, and transformation) ministers of many religious traditions can find practical methods for evaluating their sacred encounters. |
