‘There is always going to be a mismatch between the scale of the world’s needs and the scale of our ability to respond.’
'‘The Group suggests we do not attempt to replace the words “overseer” and “oversight” in the current text because the words appear in numerous places to describe both current and historic practice.'
'Sometimes, I just sit by a patient so they can have a peaceful death… we can all provide pastoral care. We can all provide space to listen.’
