| Summary: | This essay argues that Womanist pastoral care is an incarnational theology centering Black bodies, healing practices for individuals and society, and a commitment to the pursuit of justice. From its inception, Womanist pastoral care has responded to systemic injustice and cultural trauma. Contemporary Womanist responses include pastoral care in communal spaces, with activists, and with individuals. Thus, the milieu for care has moved beyond the clinical office and has widened to include ritual, spiritual guidance, body practices, and multireligious influences. |
