Counseling the Christian African American is written from the dissertation Pastoral Counseling in the African American Churches of Metro Atlanta: Breaking the Stigma Associated with Asking for Help. It deals with the stigma that exists in the African American Christian community that seeking counseling services displays a lack of faith and is therefore unspiritual. However, as a new generation emerges with more liberal views on counseling and the role of the church, an opportunity to enhance pastoral counseling to bring it more in line with the licensed professional counselor exists.

 

 

The current lack of trained pastoral counselors in the African American church negatively affects the church's spiritual health, but offering counseling services can increase spiritual maturity. African American churches must re-evaluate their stance on counseling and begin to emphasize counseling as an acceptable and healthy practice.

 

 

Pastors must understand formal training is vital to offer counseling, and develop a referral network. They hold a unique and significant position in their congregants' lives and need to prepare themselves for the challenges that come with it.

 

 

This work delves into some of the reasons African Americans do not seek professional counseling and why they migrate toward clergy to discuss their issues.

Beautiful, Sturdy, Excellent Customer Service!!
Size: 6 Tier, Color: White
Excellent quality item, and beyond outstanding customer service! This jewelry case is very thoughtfully configured, to accommodate various sizes and shapes of jewelry. I purchased this primarily to keep my fine gold chains entangled, and there are numerous velvet hooks, with pockets below to do this. The dividers are not removable, but because there six drawers with difference size choices, it was not an issue, tho some customers may have that question. The watch band bolsters, however, ARE removable. I chose the cream color case with tan/gold interior velvet lining. BUT, the lining, in my view, looks actually to be dusty rose/mauve in color. Not a screaming pink, a bit subtle, but it doesn't look tan as in the photo. Just FYI, in case the interior color is a big deal for you. But the exterior light cream is just as pictured, and is beautiful! Regarding the customer service for this company, I contacted them prior to and after purchase. They responded very quickly, and were clear and articulate in answering my questions / addressing my concerns Thank you!

Good quality and easy gift
Size: 6 Tier, Color: Jelly Pink
This came with some scratches to the metal. Other than that the organization and versatility of this item is amazing. My wife loves it and it cleared up a lot of room for more jewelry. Which could’ve been a mistake for myself lol. I recommend this as a gift for your wife!
