Abstract
Pastoral visits
Regardless the fact that opposition to pastoral visits is mounting in the church, it remains unreplaceable. There is but no alternative for these visits. Attention is given to certain biblical and theological arguments in an attempt to justify the continuation of this practice in the church.

The ward-system needs to be utilized to a much greater extend as is the case now.
