The Ministry of Counseling

by Carol R. Murphy

Overview

This essay arises from an overmastering concern to bring together two parallel endeavors: a living religion of the Holy Spirit with a recent movement in therapeutic counseling which has arisen from a deep respect for the human spirit. What I know about religion I owe largely to the influence of Pendle Hill. What little I know of counseling I owe to two brief but profitable summers of study at Garrett Biblical Institute under Dr. Carroll A. Wise, and at Syracuse University under Dr. Arthur W. Combs and his associates. My thoughts have grown and clarified in contact with my teachers and fellow students, and I have embodied many of their ideas in what follows. Nevertheless, the errors, inferences and conclusions are my own.
