Wendy Billington’s concern is that small groups should be the focus of pastoral care within the local church.
The burden of the book is to show how we can pastor one another within these small groups and as part of a larger fellowship. That means recognising our responsibility, listening to one another (really listening, that is), and then responding as different crises and situations arise. Leaders of small groups are primarily in mind here, although any conscientious group member would benefit.
