Abstract
"Through the aid of parish nurses, a growing number of congregations are assisting local people in taking responsibility for their own health or are assuming care for them when it is necessary and possible for them to do so (Trinitapoli, Ellison, and Boardman).1 Through qualitative research methods, this study constructs two ethnographic accounts of the local cultural dynamics associated with developing health and healing ministries. It examines one congregational health program centered on a parish nurse and a free clinic developed in an inner-city context and discusses the role it plays in the congregational mission. This study also explores the possibilities for a quite different parish health ministry centered in a rural community context."(pg 236)
