The Venerable
The Venerable (''venerabilis'' in Latin) is a style, a title, or an epithet which is used in some Western Christianity, Western Christian churches, or it is a translation of similar terms for clerics in Eastern Orthodoxy and monastics in Buddhism. Christianity Catholic In the Catholic Church, after a deceased Catholic has been declared a Servant of God by a Bishop (Catholic Church), bishop and proposed for Beatification, beatification by the Pope, such a servant of God may next be declared venerable ("heroic virtue, heroic in virtue") during the investigation and process leading to possible canonization as a saint.

Clifford, West Yorkshire
Clifford is a small village in West Yorkshire, England. The population at the 2011 Census was 1,662. The village is south of Wetherby. Many of the older buildings are built of magnesian limestone. Etymology The name ''Clifford'' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086. It comes from the Old English words ''clif'' ('cliff, bank') and ''ford'' ('ford'), thus meaning 'ford at the bank or cliff'. This perhaps referred to the crossing of the River Wharfe at Boston Spa, which was then within the manor. History According to the Domesday Book, in 1086, Ligulf held the manor, which comprised six carucates with four ploughs. In the Middle Ages Clifford was a subordinate settlement to Bramham, and had no parish church or manor house. A Wesleyan chapel was built some time before 1838, and the three churches soon after. The Anglican St Luke's Church was built in 1840. Clifford was originally a farming community, but in 1831, corn mills powered by Bramham Beck on Old Mill Lane, ...

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is an ancient model of emotional, social and Human spirit, spiritual support that can be found in all cultures and traditions.

Institutional pastoral care departments in Europe are increasingly not only multi-faith but inclusive in particular of non-religious, secular humanism, humanist approaches to providing support and comfort. Just as the theory and philosophy behind modern pastoral care is not dependent on any one set of beliefs or traditions, so pastoral care is relating gently and skillfully, with the inner world of individuals from all walks of life, and the elements that go to make up that p ...
