New pastoral approaches

Abstract

This article develops the new pastoral approaches, that is, a contextual pastoral that entails both a theoretical aspect and a practical aspect, this shows that reflective and practical-liberating elements are related in pastoral care in a true salvific action. Determining elements are also highlighted in the work of authentically guiding and shepherding people, the genuine interest in their conversion and their needs as human beings. In this way, the foundations are laid to face current challenges and exercise pastoral action that is embodied in the lives of people who are shepherded from new leadership paradigms.
