When a Heart is Broken--- Perry Miller, Editor
I am always touched by the power of human bonding, even with a pet. Such bonding can be transformative. As the training supervisor for an Urban Ministry CPE training program, I have seen this more than once in the pastoral ministry provided by CPE Interns and Residents.
The link below is a sad story that again makes the point that life and its meaning for those who have fallen on hard times can come down to the love and affection between a pet and its owner.

I have the hope that in in this new year 0f 2012, we in the clinical pastoral movement will ponder how we might work together to serve the "least of these" who are broken in spirit, life and relationships. Such would be a far more noble calling than the current atmosphre that is focused on competition, market shares and self-serving interest.
Happy New Year!
