A Different Calling
by Kenneth P. Langer
by Kenneth P. Langer
What if the world was filled with ministers–people who cared about the well-being and wholeness of others? To minister is to attend to the needs of others and there are many great people who have committed their lives to that mission but not everyone is able to dedicate themselves to becoming a professional minister. Some choose to help others as a lay minister or non-professional caregiver. This text serves as a guide for training and support for people who want to become lay ministers or group facilitators of any spiritual tradition.
