Abstract
This essay suggests that pastoral counseling involves a spiritual and emotional quest for wholeness. The personal quest of the pastoral coun selor has a parallel impact upon the quest of those who seek his or he r counsel. The essay presents the view that faith must be established in the life of the pastoral counselor in at least four areas: in commu nity, in the use of one's spiritual gifts, in the love of mercy and th e doing of justice, and in communion with God.
