7.3 Pastoral care bound to a ministry
Ministers are responsible for pastoral care. They have the task of building up a relationship of trust with the believers and of providing support to them in all situations of life. Ministers stand by those entrusted to them in all their concerns and questions, and promote their spiritual development through discussions about spiritual matters.
