Where are we in our personal spiritual
journey? Do we feel close to God? And what does beingclose to God actually mean?
In this article, Laurence Lepherd and Kylee
Mingham discuss many aspects of our life that will help us come closer to God and to support
our friends who
themselves are trying be closer. Associated with this paper is a
collection of short stories about people who have felt close to God
on various occasions.

One of the really
important aspects of our getting closer to God is to recognise that He
is immortal, invisible and totally wise. These thoughts are
expressed in our hymn 94.

Spiritual care is the work involved when a person assists
in promoting the well-beingof another through the provision
of spiritual support andcomfort, and assistance intimes of
need. Other definitions include concepts of: ➢ the mutual
concern of people for one another ➢ helping acts to troubled
persons ➢ mutual healing and growth ➢ growth as full human
beings. For Christadelphians, it centres on our
service to God and His Son, Jesus, with the prayer that we will
be able to help our friends get closer to God.
Our apologies!
adelphicare.org is undergoing considerable revision, especially
in relation to the change from the Pastoral Visitor Program
to a Pastoral Friend Program. Part of this change is a
major revision of the Handbook. We hope to have it all
complete with in a couple of weeks but, in the meantime, you may
find that some links do not work.
We apologise for this.
We believe it is important to demonstrate our love of God to those
around us. Our loving
God will always help those who put their faith
and trust in Him.
