The article states "Most pastoral counselors hold secular counseling credentials, as opposed to many Christian Counselors." This statement would not be verifiable, because it is not true. The statement is likely made from a position of bias against Christian Counseling. In most states, there are laws governing psychotherapy, and for someone to provide mental health services they must have secular counseling credentials. Pastoral Counselors are not required to be licensed psychotherapists, so unlike Christian counselors, they do not need secular credentials.Billkmfcc 17:28, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

If that's true, then it should be taken out. I am not very knowledgeable of this field, but I tried to incorporate what you said in the main article. Edit at accurate will. JesseStu 16:03, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
