Through movement, image and music, the work of parish nursing is beautifully expressed. Each descriptive phrase interprets parish nursing as part of a healing, caring ministry with people of all ages and stages in life. This video can serve as a brief introduction to parish nursing and health ministry as well as a contemplative means of encouragement and inspiration for those already engaged in such work. Although the video comes from a local Lutheran congregation in Minnesota, it could be useful in other faith traditions because of it general nature. One limitation, however, is the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the people shown.
