It is important to remember that we exist as body-spirit…
““It is important to remember that we exist as body-spirit creatures. We are simultaneously body and soul. ... This means that attention to both physical and spiritual aspects of our personhood is mandatory in ministry. It is profoundly dehumanizing to ignore the "heart" - our moral-spiritual disposition and the responsibilities that go with it; and it is profoundly dehumanizing to ignore the body and the strengths and weaknesses that go with it.””
