About SPT
We strive to be open to multiple practices of care from a variety of religious and secular traditions. We meet annually to engage presentations and workshops by various members of the Society and to work collaboratively in study groups. In addition, we also publish The Journal of Pastoral Theology in which substantive articles relating to these concerns appear.
