Street Pastors

[Namaste Jesus]

I hope you are able to get the treatment you need a.s.a.p.

Thanks for that. It means a lot. I was trying to PM you, but I guess you have that turned off....

Sorry about that I didn't realise it was off. Feel free to pm me.

Q,

I think the people your daughter meets on the street are more likely to need to discuss their mental health needs than their religious needs. Is this how your daughter sees it?

The street pastors aren't there to discuss religious needs, or to discuss anything really. They are there to ensure the safety of people who get themselves blind drunk or stoned and leave themselves in a vulnerable position.

"The street pastors aren't there to discuss religious needs..."

--> Ah, I see. I have not heard the word "pastor" used in this way before.

The street pastors are people of faith, who help the police deal with the results of over indulgence after a night out, especially young women! I think the word 'pastor' is unfortunate as it gives the wrong impression of their role.
