We’ve got lots of people of different faiths in our area; how could a Parish Nurse help a Muslim or Jewish family?

Parish Nursing is offered to people of all faiths and none, and although firmly rooted in a Christian understanding of health and wholeness, is offered unconditionally. It is a responsibility of a Parish Nurse “to have respect for the religious convictions of clients and to refer on to other faith communities and agencies as appropriate”. As with Hospital chaplaincy, Parish nurses do not put pressure on people to change their religion or denomination … part of the training is to ensure that when alternative sources of spiritual help are needed or requested, appropriate referral is made.

Clients will always know the church from which the nurse is operating and will always have the option to choose to be referred to someone from their own denomination or not to receive any further help from this source. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
