About AAAPCC

The Constitution of the Anglican Association of Advisers in Pastoral Care and Counselling states:

“The Anglican Association of Advisors in Pastoral Care and Counselling exists to promote both pastoral care and counselling within the Dioceses of the Anglican Church.

“Pastoral care and counselling is being understood according to the following definition:

Pastoral care is that aspect of the Church’s ministry concerned with the well-being of individuals and communities. It is distinguished from pastoral counselling, though it may include it, and from pastoral and practical theology, both of which are its theoretical counterparts (Alastair Campbell: A Dictionary of Pastoral Care)

“The Association shall exist to set forth these principles.

“An effective method of promoting these principles within the Church is seen to be the appointment of Advisers in |Pastoral Care and Counselling or their equivalent.”
