In trying to overcome these feelings, the pastor must be honest about the realities of people with mental retardation, realistic about their limits, aware of the history of the individual and their family, and free to end the relationship at any time. A main goal of pastoral ministry with persons who have mental retardation is to develop a charisma, a natural ability to relate to people with mental retardation with ease and wisdom.
