This article explores ways in which pastoral counselling re-flects cultural preferences. By reference to Western, Asian and African contexts it shows how culture affects what is accepted and practised as counselling. Four views of multi-cultural society are presented and critiqued. An trinitarian, inter-cultural approach to pastoral counselling is proposed that promotes respect for the universal, cultural and unique as-pects of all persons. Each of these three elements needs attention and must be held together in creative, dynamic tension. [Article copies available for a fee from
