Overview

Mission

The brandywine pastoral institute is a non-profit interfaith center providing pastoral counseling, psychotherapy and continuing education for ministry. The institute has been established to carry out a unique counseling and teaching ministry. In its expression of ministry, the institute not only counsels the faithful, but also those who profess no faith and those poor in spirit, as well as those who are materially poor. We invite persons in spiritual and personal discontent to become fellow pilgrims on the journey to self-exploration. By means of the discipline of psychotherapy, we hope that persons can begin to integrate body, mind, and spirit, work toward mutuality in right relations, and find empowerment for justice-making. A special welcome is extended to those who may feel or are considered to be "on the outside" because of orientation, lifestyle, circumstances, choices, or others' prejudice.

What it reported doing in 2024

Educational programs conducted to provide learning experiences which promote connection, health and wholeness - conducted through lectures, seminars and 5 evening talk work shops. There were a total of 202 participants in these 5 evening talk workshops.

The verdict
