Abstract
Editors’ note: This issue of the Journal of Pastoral Theology was compiled by two members of our editorial board, Pamela Couture (St. Paul School of Theology) and Emmanuel Lartey (Candler School of Theology). We wish to thank them for their diligent work in compiling this excellent thematic issue on a timely topic of importance to the field of pastoral theology. It is our hope to present similar thematic issues in future Spring volumes of the Journal. We also wish to thank Glenn Asquith (Moravian Theological Seminary) as he concludes his term as Co-Editor with this issue. This is also the last issue produced by Jane Burcaw, Director of Marketing and Communications at Moravian Theological Seminary, and we wish to recognize her excellent professional work in preparing high-quality issues of the Journal for the last four years.
