Abstract

[Pastoral response that resonates with the ways Black women approach self-recovery and healing requires new images and paradigms for care. I respond to this need in this chapter by introducing working images of WomanistCare that prompt pastoral theological reflection on practitioners’ cultural countertransference responses to Black women and existing norms for care. Next, a case study of WomanistCare ritual is presented for analysis and reflection on ritual as a congregation-based, communal act of care. The analysis includes discussion of the use and abuse of power in ritual space convened to meet the needs of women who have experienced violence.]
