Paper, Order, or Assignment Requirements

Without ones’ own understanding of the purpose of suffering, crisis responders cannot truly offer emotional and spiritual care in disasters and provide comfort and direction to others in their suffering and pain. With that thought in mind, the student must compile an original paper of 8–10 pages in current APA format that begins by explaining his/her own personal theology of suffering. The student must use commentary and biblical references to support his/her position. In addition, the student must explain how he/she would consult with a congregation to set up a plan of preparation for pre-incidence disasters. Utilizing information presented in the textbooks as well as theoretical and practical elements from academic and Christian sources, the student must describe how he/she would foster resiliency in the pastor and the congregation
