Letter to the editor: Community outreach

Notes: "As the third parish nurse at St. Peter's, Cobourg, Ont., in the diocese of Toronto, I was so pleased to read the excellent article on parish nursing ('I was sick and you visited me', Dec. 2016, p. 11). It is important for Anglicans to know what parish nursing ministry is. Praying for those we care for is indeed very important, as pointed out by your article. St. Peter's has had a parish nursing ministry for over 20 years. This ministry is an integral part of our parish and is an outreach to our local community. It works under the leadership of St. Peter's health and healing committee. Our parish belongs to InterChurch Health Ministries (ICHM), from whom we receive additional education, encouragement, support and affirmation". [Text of entire article.]
