Parish Nursing should find interested readers among scholars, students, and advanced practitioners in community and public health nursing. Published in its first edition by the International Parish Nurse Resource Centre, Parish Nursing provides a variety of perspectives of faith community nursing roles and practice. While the book had its initial roots in the Lutheran General Care System, it is a useful reference for nurses of all faiths.
