Evkita viewpoints: opportunities and risks of pastoral care

Pastoral work in institutions such as nursing homes, daycare centers and schools is of great importance for people in difficult life situations. The Protestant daycare centers in Hamburg have taken up this challenge and offer a forum for professional exchange on this topic with their EvKITA-BlickPunkte (EvKITA Viewpoints).
The focus of this year’s BlickPunkte meeting is the tension between pastoral care and the responsibility of the institution. Especially in church institutions, these two areas can often collide. How can chaplains perform their work in a way that meets the wishes and expectations of their sponsors and still meets the needs of those entrusted to their care?
The meeting will examine the opportunities and risks of pastoral care in church institutions from various perspectives. The issue is also how to strengthen the relationship of trust between pastoral care and the other employees in the facility.

The background of the discussion

The EvKITA Viewpoints discussion deals with the opportunities and risks that arise from the area of tension between pastoral care and the responsibility of the provider. The discussion addresses the question of how to balance the work of the sponsor and the pastoral care of the children and employees.
