| Summary: | Reports exploratory research designed to identify type of ministries to the home-bound in four communities. Four models of ministry emerged from the research: (1) the pastoral-focused ministry; (2) the shared clergy-laity visitation model; (3) the minister of visitation form; and (4) the combined clergy/laity involvement ministry. Concludes that a successful homebound ministry includes four principles: (1) ministry should address the whole person; (2) reach out to all persons who have a need; (3) utilize shut-ins; and (4) use all the possible resources of ministry. |
