Abstract

In 2008, the Church of Scotland set up a working group to examine issues of health and healing in the context of the Church’s ministry and mission. This paper represents a contribution to the ongoing discussions from the perspective of hospice chaplaincy. It calls for a basic understanding of what it means to be healed and to be whole.
