ABSTRACT
Helpers need to develop a wide range of skills to adequately facilitate spiritual care. To be more inclusive, even all-inclusive, in spiritual care the helper needs to relate her or his care to the many characteristics and circumstances of helpees. We do not find spirituality in a vacuum in the sky but down on the earth in genuine people of various ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Spirituality frequently comes to the fore most strongly when people are in pain. Also, many people identify and practice their spirituality through religious traditions. Helpers need to develop broader spiritual skills in these areas.
