[Air-L] using chat in social welfare (youth)

[Frank Thomas]

Hi,
Some of the German Protestant churches created a specialised chat 
service for pastoral care (which includes more of psychological 
counseling that spiritual guidance, if I understand well. The "German" 
term for it is Chat-Seelsorge. At the time of its experimentation, in 
2002, it was largely used by youth. Diemo Rollert, a vicar and internet 
pastor, wrote an internal analysis of the uses of the service. If you 
are interested I can you send his email address.

Hope this helps,
Frank
