1. Throughout this article we will broaden the concepts of “parish nursing” and “parish” by using “faith community nurse” and “faith community” in order to include the rich diversity of faith traditions existing in our world.
2. This definition of “filters” grew out of a discussion with participants of the University of Alberta Faculty of Nursing’s 1999 summer theory course, “Nursing 498: Promoting Well-Being in Faith Communities.”
3. The ministry experience described here is an amalgamation of several events. Names and identifying circumstances of those originally involved have been altered in order to preserve confidentiality.
4. This narrative is based on one of six ministry vignettes developed in our book (Clark Olson, in press). In that text, four chapters are dedicated to in-depth reflection on a faith community nurse’s use of the McGill nursing model with “The Brown Family.” Later, after developing our thoughts on the interdisciplinary ministry potential within the McGill approach, an additional chapter is dedicated to sharing five faith community ministry narratives, with special emphasis give to each of the five McGill questions.
5. L’Arche is an international federation of communities in which people with a developmental disability and their assistants live, work, pray, and share their lives together. Founded in 1964 by Jean Vanier and Fr. Thomas Philippe, in France, there are now over 100 L’Arche communities around the world.
